Looks good,

Andreas - while I've got your attention: I've been looking into fully
converting sparc32 to the generic DMA code. Do you have any
documentation for the Leon cache handling in dma_make_coherent,
and more importantly how that applies to the dma coherent handling?
I could see how a flush might be required for the streaming DMA mappings,
that is mapping normal cached memory for I/O. But for the coherent
allocations which can be accessed from the device and the cpu without
another DMA mapping call this seems really strange.
