Tony, please speak-up if that is not the case. lib/ is certainly better than drivers/pci ... so unless anyone has a better location, we'll go with that. > If everyone agrees, I'll re-collect the patches moving everything to > lib/ (plus the one I forgot to repost) and Tony's patch and repost. My patch only removed the include for linux/pci.h and asm/pci.h (as per Mathhew Wilcox's suggestion) and then cleaned up the resulting compilation fluff. There are a few more PCI references in comments and printk messages that should be cleaned up too. Oh, I only compile tested for ia64 ... so it needs compile-testing for x86-64, and boot testing for both archs. > So, who is the proper committer for this? Tony? Or should I send > them directly to Andrew? I have one other change to swiotlb.c (from Alex Williamson) sitting in my "test" tree, which needs to not get lost. I'm happy to drive this (target 2.6.15 ... this isn't 2.6.14 bug fix material). So long as I don't get burned to a crisp for offloading this Intel specific[1] stuff into the generic part of the tree. -Tony [1] Only ia64 and em64t use this right now.
