Drivers
-------
The OHCI-1394 drivers in drivers/firewire and drivers/ieee1394 initialize
the OHCI-1394 controllers to a working state and can be used to enable
physical DMA. By default you only have to load the driver, and physical
DMA access will be granted to all remote nodes, but it can be turned off
when using the ohci1394 driver.
Because these drivers depend on the PCI enumeration to be completed, an
initialization routine which can runs pretty early (long before console_init(),
The ohci1394 driver in drivers/ieee1394 initializes the OHCI-1394 controllers
to a working state and enables physical DMA by default for all remote nodes.
This can be turned off by ohci1394's module parameter phys_dma=0.
The alternative firewire-ohci driver in drivers/firewire uses filtered physical
DMA, hence is not yet suitable for remote debugging.
Because ohci1394 depends on the PCI enumeration to be completed, an
initialization routine which runs pretty early (long before console_init()
which makes the printk buffer appear on the console can be called) was written.
To activate it, enable CONFIG_PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT (Kernel hacking menu:
