Certainly.
I overlooked the 7th patch of your unifying dma_ops patch set.
ia64_swiotlb_alloc_coherent was called when I tested again.
I'm sorry.

However, GFP_DMA is still always on in ia64_swiotlb_alloc_coherent()
regardless of the value of dev->coherent_dma_mask.

After following patch applied, GFP_DMA is set correctly by your patch.
Am I still overlooking other your patch?

Bye.
