Subject: [PATCH] agp: use DMA API when compiled for Xen as well
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:04:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CDC8496.7010801@goop.org> (raw)
Xen guests need translation between pseudo-physical and real machine
physical addresses when accessing graphics devices, so use the DMA API
in that case too.
