Date: June 2010
Contact: Christoph Mair <christoph.mair@gmail.com>
Description: Tell the bmp085 to use more samples to calculate a pressure
value. When writing to this file the chip will use 2^x samples
to calculate the next pressure value with x being the value
written. Using this feature will decrease RMS noise and
increase the measurement time.

Reading: returns the current oversampling setting.

Writing: sets a new oversampling setting.
Accepted values: 0..3.

2) ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

Architectures must ensure that kmalloc'ed buffer is
DMA-safe. Drivers and subsystems depend on it. If an architecture
isn't fully DMA-coherent (i.e. hardware doesn't ensure that data in
the CPU cache is identical to data in main memory),
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN must be set so that the memory allocator
makes sure that kmalloc'ed buffer doesn't share a cache line with
the others. See arch/arm/include/asm/cache.h as an example.

Note that ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment
Note that ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is about DMA memory alignment
constraints. You don't need to worry about the architecture data
alignment constraints (e.g. the alignment constraints about 64-bit
objects).

3) Supporting multiple types of IOMMUs

If your architecture needs to support multiple types of IOMMUs, you
can use include/linux/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h. It's a
library to support the DMA API with multiple types of IOMMUs. Lots
of architectures (x86, powerpc, sh, alpha, ia64, microblaze and
sparc) use it. Choose one to see how it can be used. If you need to
support multiple types of IOMMUs in a single system, the example of
x86 or powerpc helps.
