Hi,

while i do agree that this patch is needed and should do what it is
supposed to do i'm still wondering what the idea behind
pci_map_single() returning inaccessible DMA addresses is. The pci layer
knows that the device can only handle addresses up to 1GB. For what
reasons should it return addresses above that limit? Reading the
DMA-mappings.txt didn't reveal an answer so maybe someone can shed some
light onto this topic?

Thanks,
Florian
