     sys/alpha/alpha      busdma_machdep.c 
   Log:
   Cleanup the alpha bus dma code a bit and sync it up with i386.  Changes
   include:
   - Honor alignment and boundary restrictions on DMA tags by using bounce
     pages for misaligned buffers and not coalescing pages if the resulting
     segment would cross a boundary.
   - Teach the _bus_dmamap_load_buffer() helper function to use bounce pages
     when needed and change bus_dmamap_load() to use the helper function
     instead of largely duplicating it.  As a side effect, this enables bounce
     page support for the other load routines (load_mbuf(), load_mbuf_sg(),
     and load_uio()).
   
   Honoring the boundary restrictions partially helps with the Alpha ATA DMA
   problem.  More work is needed for that however (and forthcoming).
