Carl-Daniel? David? > btw this guy has shown up on kerneloops.org a lot: http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=__ioremap_caller where it's trying to map memory as uncachable, which is.. well nasty (it seems to map not just the piece it needs, but more, and then turns that "more" uncachable, even if the kernel is using it for "normal" things) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
