+ @class IOMemoryCursor
@abstract A mechanism to convert memory references to physical addresses.
@discussion The IOMemoryCursor declares the super class that all
specific memory cursors must inherit from, but a memory cursor can be created without a specific format subclass by just providing a segment function to the initializers. This class does the difficult stuff of dividing a memory descriptor into a physical scatter/gather list appropriate for the target hardware.
<br><br>
- A driver is expected to create a memory cursor and configure it to the limitations of it's DMA hardware; for instance the memory cursor used by the firewire SBP2 protocol has a maximum physical segment size of 2^16 - 1 but the actual transfer size is unlimited. Thus it would create a cursor with a maxSegmentSize of 65535 and a maxTransfer size of UINT_MAX. It would also provide a SegmentFunction that can output a pagelist entry.

-Below is the simplest example of a SegmentFunction:-
-void IONaturalMemoryCursor::outputSegment(PhysicalSegment segment,
- void * outSegments,
- UInt32 outSegmentIndex)
-{
- ((PhysicalSegment *) outSegments)[outSegmentIndex] = segment;
+Below is the simplest example of a SegmentFunction:<br>
+void IONaturalMemoryCursor::outputSegment(PhysicalSegment segment,<br>
+ void * outSegments,<br>
+ UInt32 outSegmentIndex)<br>
+{<br>
+ ((PhysicalSegment *) outSegments)[outSegmentIndex] = segment;<br>
