[PATCH] firewire: Enable physical DMA above 4GB

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Tue Mar 26 2013 - 10:22:50 EST


Quadlet reads to memory above 4GB is painfully slow when serviced
by the AR DMA context. In addition, the CPU(s) may be locked-up,
preventing any transfer at all.

Write the PhyUpperBound register with the end-of-memory value. If
end-of-memory is beyond the OHCI limit of 0x0000ffff00000000,
clamp to that value.
