I object to it on various grounds. While the above is correct it really
is a mid to long-term fix.
But even in the short term your patch just maintains a random list of
idefs in a random driver, pokes into the dma-mapping internals and lacks
any comments in the code explaining on what is going on, leading to
futher cargo culting. So it very clearly is not acceptable.
