[.. and this is what I said in v1 post]:

Way back in January this patchset:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/006905.html
was merged in, but pieces of it had to be reverted b/c they did not
work properly under PowerPC, ARM, and when swapping out pages to disk.

After a bit of discussion on the mailing list
http://marc.info/?i=4D769726.2030307@shipmail.org I started working on it, but
got waylaid by other things .. and finally I am able to post the RFC patches.

There was a lot of discussion about it and I am not sure if I captured
everybody's thoughts - if I did not - that is _not_ intentional - it has just
been quite some time..

Anyhow .. the patches explore what the "lib/dmapool.c" does - which is to have a
DMA pool that the device has associated with. I kind of married that code
along with drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c to create a TTM DMA pool code.
The end result is DMA pool with extra features: can do write-combine, uncached,
writeback (and tracks them and sets back to WB when freed); tracks "cached"
pages that don't really need to be returned to a pool; and hooks up to
the shrinker code so that the pools can be shrunk.

If you guys think this set of patches make sense  - my future plans were
 1) Get this in large crowd of testing .. and if it works for a kernel release
 2) to move a bulk of this in the lib/dmapool.c (I spoke with Matthew Wilcox
    about it and he is OK as long as I don't introduce performance regressions).

But before I do any of that a second set of eyes taking a look at these
patches would be most welcome.

In regards to testing, I've been running them non-stop for the last month
(and found some issues which I've fixed up) - and been quite happy with how
they work.

Michel (thanks!) took a spin of the patches on his PowerPC and they did not
cause any regressions (wheew).

The patches are also located in a git tree:
