is_device_dma_capable

[Malcom Blaney]

Hello,

I'm using the parport_pc driver with a dma buffer, which is provided
by calling dma_alloc_coherent in arch/x86/include/asm/dma-mapping.h.

This is no longer working for me in 2.6.29.2, the previous version I
was using is 2.6.25.10, which was fine with the same hardware.

The problem is that the call to is_device_dma_capable returns false,
so dma_alloc_coherent returns NULL. Do I need to set the dma_mask in
the driver for this to work correctly?

thanks,
Malcolm.
