I'd also vote for the camcc patches to be applied.

As for the camss, I'd suggest to get them verified to work properly with 
a hacked/non-upstreamable/etc. IOMMU driver if one exists. Otherwise we 
can easily get into a situation where we merge up code that contains 
bugs itself.

Another option might be to actually check whether the device has an 
IOMMU attached (see device_iommu_mapped()) and to select whether the 
driver should use SG or CONTIG depending on that.

As an additional note regarding the offset issue you've mentioned. It 
looks like there is an issue with the swiotlb. On the IFC6410 (apq8064, 
no IOMMU) I got an issue with the PCI-attached networking card. Received 
packets are offset by 4 (IIRC) bytes. The same type of adapter works on 
db820c (apq8096, working IOMMU). What kind of issues did you observe 
with the camss? If it looks like the issue I had, it might be a symptom 
of a more generic issue.
