Or to be more precise:
This driver will work well for 4xx platforms and will allow us to move a
big step toward getting rid of arch/ppc. The issues with DMA mapping
really only concern the case where this is used within the cell "Axon"
southbridge, which doesn't happen on any released product at this stage.
