Just a quick clarification:

I macro expanded dino_in32 into this:
	static u32 dino_in32 (struct pci_hba_data *d, u16 addr);

dino_in32 only takes two arguments, so I should check GR25 and manually
perform the calculations in the dino_in32 to get the proper address
passed to the _gsc_readl function, correct?

Doh .. ok.  This makes sense to me now. *sigh*

This also make sense to me.  Thanks for your time and explaination Grant!
