Well, "code outside of the kernel tree" relies on this, which is not ok, but the "soon" people keep insisting on it... Odds are I should just delete all of ION, as there hasn't been any forward progress on it in a long time. Hopefully that wakes some people up... thanks, greg k-h

FWIW, that sounds almost exactly like my (vague) understanding of other GARTs, and as such should be pretty well manageable via the IOMMU API - we already have tegra-gart, for example. The aperture contention issue could certainly be mitigated by letting the firmware claim it's only associated with the display and any other devices which really need it. A further interesting avenue of investigation - now that Christoph's recent work has made it much more possible - would be a second set of IOMMU DMA ops tailored for "GART-like" domains where force_aperture=0, which could behave as dma-direct wherever possible and only use IOMMU remaps when absolutely necessary.
