I just sent another non-intrusive fix (add __force tag to fb_readb,
etc) to LKML.

BTW, current fb_readw(), etc. are really appropriate for IP22/IP32?
It seems they have funny __swizzle_addr_w ...

Ignoring the theoretical possibility of using an EISA graphics card in an
IP22 (more exactly Indigo 2) system, IP22 simply doesn't have a framebuffer.

I'm not sure what the effect of the patch on IP32 would be so I was
waiting to apply your patch in the hope somebody is going to test it
No reports so far ...
