Oh, the paragraph you quote isn't quite as clear as it could be. The bus
address is only used in specific circumstances depending on how the
P2PDMA core code figures the addresses should be mapped (see the
documentation for (upstream_bridge_distance()). The P2PDMA code
currently doesn't have any provisions for ATS (I haven't had access to
any such hardware) but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to add.
