Whoa. Yes. You are definitly using the bounce buffer :-)
Now it is time to look at why the drive is not using those coherent ones - it
looks to allocate just eight of them but does not use them.. Unless it is
using them _and_ bouncing them (which would be odd).
And BTW, you can lower your 'swiotlb=XX' value. The 4% is how much you
are using of the default size.
I should find out_why_ the old Xen kernels do not use the bounce buffer
so much...
