    All,

    This set of patches against 2.6.2-rc2 removes the PCI-specific pci_pool
    structure and replaces it with a generic dma_pool. For compatibility with
    existing PCI drivers, macros are provided that map pci_pool_* to dma_pool_*.
    This is extremely useful for architecture that have non-PCI devices but
    require DMA buffer pools. A good example is USB, where we've had to make
    some hacks in the ARM implementation of the DMA API to get around the
    USB's usage of the PCI DMA API and pci_pools with non-PCI device.
    The patch has been tested on x86, ppc, and xscale (ARM).

    Patch portions are posted as replies to this email.

    If this patch is accepted, I'll post a follow-on patch to the USB list
    to clean up the USB layer to only use the generic DMA functions instead
    of the PCI functions.
