BUS-DMA alignment check - false positives



Hi,

When allocating DMA'able memory sometimes the virtual address can end up
non-aligned, while the physical address is correctly aligned. The question is
whether it is correct to mask the virtual address and not the physical
address:

i386/i386/busdma_machdep.c

} else if ((uintptr_t)*vaddr & (dmat->alignment - 1)) {
printf("bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory properly.\n");
}

When allocating 1<<15 bytes aligned at 1<<15 bytes.

bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory properly.
Physaddr=0x3e030000 rem=0x00000000
