An earlier proposal that Christoph pushed would have used the BTE on
sn2 for this.  Are you thinking of using the BTE on sn0/sn1 mips?
I wasn't being that specific. There's spare DMA engines on a lot of
PPC/ARM/FRV/SH/MIPS and other machines, to name just the ones sitting
around my desk.
If you look at the patch you will find a function call to register a
hardware driver for zeroing. I did not include the driver in this patch
because there was no change. Look at my other posts regarding prezeroing.
