AFAICT, the declarations that I moved are not LinuxBIOS-specific in nature. Sure, EFI wasn't using them, but AFAICT that's just because EFI is the firmware equivalent of a control freak :-) (unless I missed something of course..) > Actually I think better name for pc would be pcbios... Probably a good idea; then we could reuse "pc" for real PC-specific stuff that is not specific to BIOS neither x86. but why not just `bios' ? I think that term already refers to the PC firmware. > If you want to share code with LinuxBIOS why not just share those files > located on i386/pc/. In general it's not a problem for me to do that, but the file wasn't just moved, the parts that were specific to bios were left in i386/pc/loader.h. -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
