[Xen-devel] linux: GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32

["Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

While I have a patch queued to address related issues in intel-agp, a quick scan
of the Linux tree seems to reveal several more cases where assumptions are
being made on GFP_DMA{,32} allocations - either the result (even properly
passed through virt_to_bus()) is put into hardware registers (with no
guarantee that it fits the width required by those registers or fields thereof),
or page-crossing arithmetic is being done (explicitly or implicitly). All this 
is set
to cause data corruption.

Are there any ideas, other than either suppressing such components or fixing
them one by one, how to address this problem?

Thanks, Jan
