Re: [PATCH 2/3] iopmem : Add a block device driver for PCIe attached IO memory.

FYI, that address has bounced throught the whole thread for me,
replacing it with a known good one for now.

Is there anything left of it actually?  I didn't spot anything
obvious.  Nevermind that we don't have a file with that name anymore :)

Odd comment formatting.

And then we dod a memcpy here anyway.  And no volatile whatsover, so
the compiler could do anything to it.  I defintively feel a bit uneasy
about having this in the driver as well.  Can we define the exact
semantics for this and define it by the system, possibly in an arch
specific way?

How about moving the  address and offset calculation as well as the
cache flushing into read_iopmem/write_iopmem and removing this function?

op_is_write just checks the data direction.  I'd feel much more
comfortable with a switch on the op, e.g.

	switch (bio_op(bio))) {
	case REQ_OP_READ:
		bio_for_each_segment(bvec, bio, iter)
			read_iopmem(iopmem, bvec, iter.bi_sector);
		break;
	case REQ_OP_READ:
		bio_for_each_segment(bvec, bio, iter)
			write_iopmem(iopmem, bvec, iter.bi_sector);
	defualt:
		WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
		bio->bi_error = -EIO;
		break;
	}

I don't think this can ever happen, can it?

Just use ida_simple_get/ida_simple_remove instead to take care
of the locking and preloading, and get rid of these two functions.

You don't handle flush commands or the fua bit in make_request, so
this setting seems wrong.

propagate the actual error code, please.
