It will kill arch/arm/plat-pxa/dma.c in the long term. > Hi Robert, as much as I like this series, I think you still have a long way to go before PXA can really be multiplatform. Other parts that would need to be solved include the various cpu_is_pxa*() checks in drivers, the per-board header files, the way that the I/O space is mapped in the PCMCIA drivers and the XIP support. I think all of them are theoretically doable, but I wasn't expecting to ever get there. Arnd
