The last patch of my series may be in question so it could end up that this
patch makes it in first. It shouldn't be too hard to respin my patches after
your merge so no worries there though.

I'm far from a DMA expert but this all looks sane to me - I can't really
comment on the 32bit side of things but I don't think it's going to break
anything on 64bit (it compiles fine on cell and pseries).

I'll try and test boot it on Monday.

We should get BenH to look at it but he's travelling at the moment...

Mark.
