If you could do the 68k version of mc, I would be willing to follow your
example and extend this to the macppc version as well as the if_bm.c and
if_gm.c, if applicable. I am not familiar with some of the concepts of
bus_dma (I see a link for Jason Thorpe's presentation so I will try to
obtain that), so examples will help.
