I gather that DMA is not cache-coherent on the NuBus powermacs, which
opens a whole new can of worms... it means you have to do explicit
flush/invalidate requests, but it also means that you *have* to make
sure that the cpu isn't accessing any words in any of the cache lines
that the dma controller is accessing. If the dma buffer isn't
cacheline-aligned, and is preceded or followed by unrelated stuff, you
are in trouble.
Paul.
