Hi,

What do you think about this patch? It kills all references to
consistent_dma_mask in 2.6.0-test3 tree.

The consistent_dma_mask (and set_... function) is presumably a hack
which is currently not used by anything (at least in the official tree).
It's unneeded (it can be easily done in a driver, should a need arrive,
without polluting the PCI subsystem) and is not supported by "DMA" API.
It isn't even implemented on most platforms - only x86_64 and ia64 have
support for it, while on the remaining archs using it according to the
docs (with non-default value) could mean Oops or something like that.

This patch doesn't actually change any current kernel behaviour.
