This patch series removes the skb_dma_map and skb_dma_unmap function calls.
The reason for this change is because the use of skb_dma_map/unmap can lead
to serious issues when HW IOMMU is enabled.  This is because each mapping
of the skb with a HW IOMMU enabled results in a new set of DMA mappings.
This in turn leads to issues when skbs are cloned for uses such as
bridging or pktgen because each transmitting device will update the skb
shared info structure resulting in some mappings being overwritten, and others
being freed multiple times.

I am looking for input specifically on the tg3, be2net, and bnx2 driver
patches as I am not very familiar with them and I am not certain if
additional changes are required.

I have included the changes for the Intel wired Ethernet drivers as a
reference.

These changes look good, but at least one of them does not apply
to current net-2.6

Can you respin this against current sources?

Thanks a lot for doing this work Alexander.
