Dear Lubomir Rintel,

I would assume that dma_unmap_single() implies a
dma_sync_single_for_cpu() since you're unmapping the DMA buffer. So if
you use dma_unmap_single(), I think you can remove the call to
dma_sync_single_for_cpu().

Ditto.

Also, the mv_xor_memcpy_self_test() function not only dma_map_single()
the destination buffer, but also the source buffer. So presumably, the
source buffer should also be dma_unmap_single()'d.

And for the mv_xor_xor_self_test() function, multiple source buffers
are dma_map_page()'d, so they should all be dma_unmap_page()'d I guess,
not only the destination buffer.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Thomas
