No maintainer is listed for ixp2000 either. I have this in my copy of the MAINTAINERS file: ARM/INTEL IXP2000 ARM ARCHITECTURE M: Lennert Buytenhek L: linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers) S: Maintained It's missing an F: line, otherwise it suggests that the platform is still maintained by Lennert and it certainly builds just fine. Unfortunately he seems to have fallen off the edge of the planet at the end of last year. > If this doesn't fly, my fallback to clean-up io.h is just removing > CONFIG_IXP2000_SUPPORT_BROKEN_PCI_IO.

My feeling is that we should keep ixp2000 around but get rid of the workarounds for preproduction machines. If we can get Lennert to reply, it should be his decision though. Arnd
