Yeah, sure. The architectures are broken. But the bugreports hit _my_ code. I got pretty tired of forwarding stuff to the arch maintainers, so I implemented something that does work in every situation. The bugreports stopped immediately (Except this tiny build failure that does only hit under rare circumstances). DMA is pretty much a mess, if you look at how ever arch does implement the API in a slightly different way. If somebody wants to fix this, I'm certainly OK with it. But for now we will have to live with SSB implementing a wrapper around the ssb-host-device DMA APIs. -- Greetings Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
