2009-03-13ps3/block: Replace mtd/ps3vram by block/ps3vramGeert Uytterhoeven
Convert the PS3 Video RAM Storage Driver from an MTD driver to a plain block device driver. The ps3vram driver exposes unused video RAM on the PS3 as a block device suitable for storage or swap. Fast data transfer is achieved using a local cache in system RAM and DMA transfers via the GPU. The new driver is ca. 50% faster for reading, and ca. 10% for writing.

2009-01-08mtd/ps3vram: Use _PAGE_NO_CACHE in memory ioremapGeoff Levand
Use _PAGE_NO_CACHE for gpu memory ioremap. Also, add __iomem attribute to gpu memory pointer and change use of memset() to memset_io(). Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-08mtd/ps3vram: Cleanup ps3vram driver messagesGeoff Levand
Cleanup the ps3vram driver messages. Add a new struct device pointer variable dev to struct ps3vram_priv and use dev_dbg(), pr_dbg(), etc. where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-01-08mtd/ps3vram: Remove ps3vram debug routinesGeoff Levand
Remove the ps3vram debug routines ps3vram_dump_ring() and ps3vram_dump_reports(). These routines are not needed. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-01-08mtd/ps3vram: Add ps3vram driver for accessing video RAM as MTDJim Paris
Add ps3vram driver, which exposes unused video RAM on the PS3 as a MTD device suitable for storage or swap. Fast data transfer is achieved using a local cache in system RAM and DMA transfers via the GPU.
