Linus,

In order to include support for DCA (Direct Cache Access) from IOAT,
please pull from my git tree at
	git://lost.foo-projects.org/~sln/linux-2.6 dma-upstream

This will update the drivers as shown below.

These were orignially posted and Ack'd last week.

    DCA: Add Direct Cache Access driver
    
    Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache
before data
    is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
This
    patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests
for DCA
    services with devices that offer DCA services.
    
    In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the
appropriate tag
    bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU.  However,
different
    CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the
methods
    for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be
a
    hardware specific magic incantation.  This interface is a way for
DCA
    clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without
needing
    to know the specifics.

No. It's after the merge window, and I'm not interested for 2.6.23. 

Why cannot people learn? If it didn't get into -rc1, it's not in. It 
really is that simple. I shouldn't have to shout at people.

I/OAT / dmaengine patch merge path has been a complete mystery and 
unestablished. Dave Miller acked these patches during the merge window, so if 
Shannon can only send these to you during that period, and you are 100% likely 
to miss the Acks, this will never get merged.

Perhaps David should start merging I/OAT stuff instead? Someone else? Chris had 
the same issues when he was maintaining this.
