The 30 bit constraint is enough to let b44 work. But there are a number of sound cards which require a 28-bit DMA mask (256MB max physical addressable memory). 1GB seems reasonably safe, but I'm much less comfortable with restricting DMADOM to 256MB by default. Does anyone have any strong feelings about shifting this? What other users of DMADOM are there that might overflow if we restrict it even further?
