+ * - debug the handling of absent physical DMA
+ * - replace CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA by automatic detection

+ * - make the parameter serialize_io configurable per device
+ * - move all requests to fetch agent registers into non-atomic context,
+ * replace all usages of sbp2util_node_write_no_wait by true transactions
+ * - convert to generic DMA mapping API to eliminate dependency on PCI
+ * Grep for inline FIXME comments below.
