Hrm, from a quick check of the i386 busdma and the sparc64 busdma and IOMMU code I see no indication why such an alignment shouldn't work as expected, neither do relevant man pages like bus_dma(9) and contigmalloc(9) indicate a restriction to PAGE_SIZE. Based on the addresses of the buffers I get on sparc64 (f.e. 0xc0000000 and 0xc0020000) I'd also say it just works. But before possibly commiting this change I've to also run-time check it on i386 anyway. > The second question is number of channels > supported for M5451.

Well, r173511 limited the driver to effectively only use one channel with M5451 and given that the same change added a knob I suspect that it was also actually tested with more than one channel but that also failed. Do you mean that the interation in the interrupt handler should be limited to 32 (according to the M1535 datasheet [1] that number is correct) for M5451 or maybe also to the number of channels registered?
