I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some information on DMA
issues relating to Linus and FreeBSD.  Specifically anything that deals
with DMA relating to disk I/O between Linux and BSD.  Also any kind of
source code that deals with this would be great too.

I am working on a research project for my cpsc class and any information
that anybody can give my would be greatly appreciated.
