Well, we haven't reached the consensus. The discussion faded away somehow mainly because I had too little time to update and ping people again.
In Tokyo, I talked with some guys regarding this. Ben agreed to take this approach for ppc, and David said that he doesn't mind for sparc part. Fujita-san mentioned it's no big problem to add one op from the generic dma_ops.
So, maybe somehow need to convince James in the end (and ask Paul to check SH part, too), then it'll be all up... theoretically :)
Anyway, I'm going to raise the discussion again on linux-arch. I'm afraid it's a bit too late game for 2.6.33, but starting now is better than too late again.
Hi, Takashi Iwai
Before the API stuff going into the mainline(2.6.33), can we apply this "[PATCH] MIPS: Fixups of ALSA memory maps"(This is the minimal necessares) as a current fixup. and then we will not get a broken sound support for MIPS, and also the support to the latest Loongson2F family machines will benefit from it.
and Ralf, what about your suggestion?
Thanks & Best wishes, Wu Zhangjin
