Ok, i've seen these patches but I was not really sure about their purpose.
This is, for example, what we will be a good idea to write a small 
webpage about this and few other things.
It do not need to be really huge, but 2 or 3 explanations about the 
sources, the code, the patches (there are also some patches in fs/dmapi 
which could be better explained too)

Ok.
These few lines will be welcomed too.


In fact, I just wanted to say that, when you try to used SGI DMAPI code, 
 at first, there is really no documentation, and this could be avoid, 
writing a small document, explaining what need to be known for starting. 
This could really help people, amha.
