It looks okay. But I don't see (immediatly) why the change to pci_alloc_consistent was needed as well. Can you (or Dan Malek, if you're reading this..) explain? But aside from that, it looks good and the next step would be to try and get the generic changes into 2.5 (and the 2.4.20-pre1, 2.4.19 is more or less frozen, esp for a change like this I suspect). -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
