That was my worry, devices not capable of accessing the full 64-bit address space. We can hope that those SoCs would have an IOMMU but I can't tell for sure at this stage. The default implementation could be simpler. I can even drop it altogether from the initial patchset given that no SoC makes use of it yet. -- Catalin -- 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/
