Looks like the values are arch specific. So as a first step I'd like to keep them separate. As a second step we could look into unifying the actual ioremap implementations which look mostly the same. Once that is done we could look into collapsing the flags and prot_val arguments. > One useful feature of the ifdef mess as implemented in the patch is > that you could test for whether ioremap_cache() is actually > implemented or falls back to default ioremap().

E.g. a ioremap_flags with the CACHED argument will return -EOPNOTSUP unless actually implemented. On various architectures different CPUs or boards will have different capabilities in this area. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
