We have repeatedly discussed the problems of devices having varyingaddress range requirements for doing DMA.
We already have such an API. dma_alloc_coherent(). Device drivers
are not supposed to mess with GFP_DMA* directly anymore for quite
some time.
Device drivers need to be able to indicate ranges of addresses that may bedifferent from ZONE_DMA. This is an attempt to come up with a futurescheme that does no longer rely on device drivers referring to zoies.
We already have that scheme. Any existing driver should be already converted
away from GFP_DMA towards dma_*/pci_*. dma_* knows all the magic
how to get memory for the various ranges. No need to mess up themain allocator.
