I hate scrubbing large patches from the mailing list archive. Note that before even thinking of pushing this patch in the kernel, we need to perform testing with the hardware on i386 and potentially on ARM. The author only tried with irtty that doesn't use this function, so that's not a valid test at all. Finding people test those changes is going to be tough, as usual. I'm also wondering about the validity of those changes, but that's another matter I need to go through. During 2.5.X, some people assured me that using isa_virt_to_bus was safe on all platform with an ISA bus... Thanks... Jean
