Subject: RE: [PATCH] forcedeth: fix dma api mismatches

Doing a quick indentifier search on 2.6.17 shows that pci_unmap_page() just calls pci_unmap_single().

I think this will just add extra clutter. We can just add a comment in the code instead that they perform the same thing.

I'm going to apply this to net-next-2.6 now since it looks
painfully correct to me.
