Next: [PATCH v4 03/11] swiotbl: add back swiotlb_alloc_boot()
From: Albert Herranz on 12 Mar 2010 14:20
The current SWIOTLB code uses a default of 64MB for the IO TLB area.
This size can be influenced using a kernel command line parameter "swiotlb".
Unfortunately, the parsing of the kernel command line is done _after_ the
swiotlb is initialized on some architectures.

This patch adds a new function swiotlb_set_default_size() which can be used
before swiotlb_init() to indicate the desired IO TLB area size in bytes.

This will be used later to implement a smaller IO TLB on the Nintendo Wii
video game console which just comes with 24MB + 64MB of RAM.
