[PATCH] Make UIO available for arm architecture

[Hans-Jürgen Koch]

The config system doesn't show the UIO menu if arch=arm, this patch fixes it.

I am raising a general question here.
Should not such cross-platform things be made available in a general
Kconfig rather than having to patch each arch's Kconfig?

I am thinking of drivers/Kconfig for this one (of course I am aware that this
requires an extra "depends on X86 || SPARC || others" in drivers/pci/Kconfig),
and perhaps even a top-level Kconfig for things like truly arch-independent
fs/Kconfig.

Um, uio _is_ in drivers/Kconfig already :)

But I'm guessing that ARM doesn't use that file yet?  If so, I have no
objection to the above patch, but it should go through the ARM
developers, not me.

Of course :-)

No, they don't. They source Kconfigs from each drivers subdirectory.

OK, as I've CCed linux-arm-kernel, I hope Russell will do that.

Thanks,
