And I seem to understand that David's preferred SUN hardware only
allows streaming when using SAC with IOMMU.:-)
It is true.
And using DAC is 1 PCI cycle lost per transaction and if we are
picky on performances ...
True. This is why I find it mysterious when I run across a device
which does not issue SAC for addresses with only 32-bits of
significance.
Happily, most do behave this way.
