   Basic rule: it's up to _other_ architectures to fix drivers that don't
   work for them. Always has been. Because there's no way you can get the
   people who just want to have something working to care.

And if nobody else ends up doing it, you are right it will be people
like Jeff and myself doing it.

So what we are asking is to allow a few weeks for that and not crap up
the tree meanwhile. This is so that the cases that need to be
converted are harder to find.

Actually, you're only half right in one regard. Most people I've
pointed to Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt have responded "Oh, never saw
that before, that looks easy to do. Thanks I'll fix it up properly
for you."
