As I understand it, you also have to have no I/O hole in the mapping of the
bottom 16 MB of memory onto PCI, right? As I understand it, Linux/PPC is a sane
PPC OS and treats all PPC memory as normal, without any special treatment for
0xA0000-0xFFFFF, so your DMA buffer could legitimately end up in that region
and if your memory map has an I/O hole you would be screwed, right? And of
course main memory on PCI at 0 with no I/O hole means you can't have video on
the same PCI bus... !@#$ing pee sea legacy :(
