ib_dma_map_single() allows the ib_ipath device driver to interpose
on IOMMU allocations and not do them by returning the kernel
virtual address as the "DMA address". I started with dma_addr_t
but it was pointed out to me that sparc64 defines dma_addr_t
as u32. This would cause addresses to be truncated.
Also, I chose u64 because the return value from ib_dma_*() is
stored in the ib_sge.addr field which is u64.
My preference would be to change the offending uses of dma_addr_t
to u64. Do you have a better solution?
