Hi Christoph,

Thanks for this, these look good to me.  I don't know much about the dma
infrastructure in the kernel to tell the truth, but the patches do maintain the
original cache flushing and invalidation core logic and I don't see any
problems.

I have applied these and ran my regular tests, but I don't really have any DMA
hardware so the testing doesn't mean much.

For upstreaming, do you want me to send these through the openrisc tree, or do
you want to send with the dma tree?
