Subject: [PATCH net v3 2/2] sfc: Restrict PIO to 64-bit architectures
Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 11:20:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53870A02.6020500@solarflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <53870984.6020803@solarflare.com>

From: Jon Cooper <jcooper@solarflare.com>

Enable PIO for x86_64 architecture only.
Not tested on platforms other than x86_64.

Fixes:ee45fd92c739
("sfc: Use TX PIO for sufficiently small packets")
