Alan,

Good to see some of this old code being used.

I haven't followed this work closely, but I have a question:

The first poulsbos used to crash badly  when attempting to map the GTT 
write-combined, and IIRC it didn't even advertise write-combining 
capabilities on the PCI BAR. Has this been improved on lately or how is 
this handled currently?

Thanks,
Thomas
