Subject: [BK PATCH] PCI reorg fix
Date: Thu, 9 May 2002 09:52:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020509165234.GA17627@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200205091647.g49GlkG02757@localhost.localdomain>


Linus,

James pointed out that pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_free_consistent()
are allowed to be called, even if CONFIG_PCI is not enabled.  So this
changeset moves these calls back into the arch/i386/kernel directory.

Pull from:  bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/linux-2.5-pci

As a side note, I don't think that any pci_* function should be able to
be called by non-pci drivers.  Is it worth spending the time now in 2.5
to make these two functions not rely on 'struct pci_dev' and fix up all
of the drivers and architectures and documentation to reflect this?
Possible names would be alloc_consistent() and free_consistent()?

thanks,

greg k-h
