Sorry for not responding sooner, but I've been on vacation (and still am)
and wasn't reading email.

Thanks for dropping the uncached allocator patch in favor of the patchset
that moves XPC/XPNET to drivers/misc/sgi-xp.

I've just submitted a new version of the uncached allocator patch that
includes the changes to drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_partition.c necesssary
for the system to build cleanly. (Sorry about that.)

Doing what you did did result in a functioning XPC kernel module. Thanks.
