This current patch extends this code to handle more than a page worth of bits. I added the others to the CC list because they were on your CC list on your patch: Subject: [PATCH] provide x86 implementation of on-chip coherent memory API for DMA From: James Bottomley Date: 30 Jun 2004 21:52:24 -0500 Could you look Mundt's patch, and see if it looks ok? Thanks. -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.925.600.0401
