Taking into account that I'm just trying to fix a regression, and not 
invent a new, long term solution: are you able to name a board which a) 
is already supported in 2.6.39, b) is (or can be) equipped with a device 
supported by a V4L driver which uses videobuf-dma-config susbsystem, c) 
uses IOMMU? If there is one, than I agree that reverting the patch is 
not a good option.

If I didn't understand it, I wouldn't try to find a solution other than 
reverting your patch.

Thanks,
