Let's just do the minimal changes in 2.4 to make request_irq() work for stuff like the PCMCIA drivers. Forget about the 8259, as I think the only board that uses it is the MBX, and if people really need it, they can hack something in as it hasn't worked for years anyway. > They're gone in the 2.5 version of the patch (since a driver supporting > 2.5/2.6 will have all sorts of other compatibility macros anyhow). I'm working on 2.5 now, and I'll implement something better/different that may not ever make it into 2.4. Also, you guys have removed all of the intercepts for RTLinux and RTAI, so I need to put that back in as well as create an interface for the interrupts. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
