Hello,
Here there is a series of 20 patches that lays the foundations for
using dma_ops in i386 in the very same way x86_64, as well as many other
architectures already do.
The functions themselves for i386 are placed in a pci-base_32.c, but just
a few among them are actually implemented. Most were no-ops anyway.
I see the headers are unified, but the .c files are duplicated. I
presume unifying the implementation is deferred to later patches?
The motivation for that is the ongoing work for pci-passthrough in KVM.
So ingo, avi, what do you think it's the best way to handle these patches through?
x86.git.
