From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 16:34:44 +0000 Subject: [patch 3/5] ia64: allow WB /sys/.../legacy_mem mmaps Message-Id: <200703301034.44253.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> List-Id: References: <200703211621.49988.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> In-Reply-To: <200703211621.49988.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Allow cacheable mmaps of legacy_mem if WB access is supported for the region. The "legacy_mem" file often contains a shadow option ROM, and some versions of X depend on this. Tim Yamin reported that this change fixes X on a Dell PowerEdge 3250.
