IA64 and PARISC uses the same IOMMU hardware but they duplicate the driver for them (the drivers are very similar). Calgary and POWER also have similar IOMMU drivers. But I don't think it's worth merging them. Unless a new cross-platform IOMMU git tree handles DMA-API changes, there is no point in having such new tree. There is very little non-architecture-specific IOMMU stuff. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
