I can't believe the level of concessions some people are suggesting. Let's not make IOMMU's basically useless by working around one broken driver. Proper interfaces for what this driver is trying to do have existed in the kernel for 10+ years. There are no excuses, and it's time for Nvidia to get with the game plan. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
