We can't set dev->coherent_dma_mask? It doesn't break dmabounce. What it breaks is the fact that a PCI device which can do 32-bit DMA is connected to a PCI bus which can only access the first 64MB of memory through the host bridge, but the system has more than 64MB available. Allowing a 32-bit DMA mask means that dmabounce can't detect that memory above 64MB needs to be bounced to memory below the 64MB boundary. -- 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/
