Hy everybody,

I think I have found a little source of bug, so please correct me if I
am wrong :

Every time we use a dma on the mpc860, we've got to give him the
physical address
of a buffer ( the physical addr of a sk_buff in enet.c for exemple ).
We use __pa which purpose is just to  substract 0xc0000000.
But when we create a buffer in a module, his virtual addr is not just an
offset of his physical addr,

Yes it is, if you use __pa on addresses it is intended to be used on.
(Well, to be precise __pa should never be used in drivers at all, you
should use virt_to_phys instead, but in the end they do the same thing
on PPC)
