No we don't. We discussed it but the feeling was that the swiotlb is
overall the better choice (for 2.4.xx). I don't really care about
this issue all that much myself, as it affects only platforms that
don't have a hardware I/O TLB and use PCI cards that can't address the
entire physical address space.

DaveM> Your version is still broken then.

Ah, classic DaveM. You're obviously entitled to your opinion.
