Hi,

Do 64 bit PCI DMA transfers work in the test7 kernel yet?

Doing 64 bit PCI DMA transfers to memory less than 2 gigs works
fine.  When I use 4 gigs of memory, the physical address of the last 2
gigs seems to be 0x100000000 - 0x17fffffff.  When I try doing PCI DMA
transfers into this area, everything starts going wrong.

Is this a problem with the kernel?  Or is it a problem with my driver? or
both?

The kernel should handle this fine and if your driver is using the PCI
DMA interface, then it should work, too (assuming it's using it
correctly).
