[patch] malta bus error

[patch] malta bus error

[Greg Weeks]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 281 bytes --]

Here's the ugly hack I used to get around the bus error on the malta 
board because of the memcpy prefetch bug. I'm still looking at the 
memcpy.S code to figure out how to get it to stop prefetching past the 
end of the copy.
