We're quite keen to get this in for arm64, since we're without IOMMU DMA
ops and need to get something upstream. Do you think this is likely to
be merged for 4.3/4.4 or would we be better off doing our own
arch-private implementation instead?

Sorry to pester, but we've got people basing their patches and products
on this and I don't want to end up having to support out-of-tree code.

Cheers,

Will
