[Xen-devel] Using arch/x86_64/pci-dma in x86_64 Xen

["Langsdorf, Mark" <mark.langsdorf@xxxxxxx>]

The current implementation of pci-dma in x86_64 Xen
Linux is to use the i386 implementation.  I don't
believe this is sustainable in the long term, as
x86_64 Xen is going to need more DMA solutions than
just SWIOTLB and plain hardware as various IOMMU 
implementations arrive.  

The mainstream kernel has a clean abstraction layer
with the dma_ops that should be portable to Xen dom0
and domU.  I've started implementing this in a
pci-dma-xen for x86_64 Xen Linux.  Am I stepping on 
anyone's toes or is there anyone I should be 
co-ordinating this with?
