[PATCH 1/2] x86 swiotlb: Verify we can perform the remapping requested.

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed Oct 19 2011 - 17:36:48 EST



Recently I had a driver try with a peculiar 2G dma memory limit.
It failed in weird and strange ways because my bounce buffers were
being allocated above 2G where the driver could not reach, and
no error was reported when the mappings were setup.

Use the swiotlb_dma_supported to avoid silent problems like this
in the future.
