Hello,
If I had a 64 bit scsi card (like the qlogic 1280) and a 64 bit system
(Alpha or IA64), could I disable bounce buffers? I mean, can I short
circuit around create_bounce in ll_rw_block.c (CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled).
I tried it and I had some problems, so I didnt know if that was not meant to
be done.
Best Wishes,
Goutham
