That's my impression.

It was my impression from looking at hpcmips bus.h that it could
easily deal with the oddities of the arc, but that the arc's bus space
implementation would have problems with hpcmips.

: Anyway, arc's implementation should be rewritten.

Agreed.  Has any thought been given to adding a busdma implementation
as well?
