Unfortunately, I was not able to test these patches either, as my
alpha with iommmu and scsi is disassembled at the moment, thanks to
dead CPU fan...

arena->dma_base is always properly aligned - it's pretty fundamental thing.

Must be dma_get_seg_boundary(dev). Hopefully it's the only typo ;-)

A bit of abuse of ALIGN() macro, to my taste ;-)

Perhaps it was that, if the scsi driver set max_seg_size to something
other than default 65536 (and not a power of two)...

Bob, can you give it a try?

Ivan.
