I think I prefer the former variant, > though. this isnt a problem. we do this sort of thing in many places since people develop under MMU and use the API that exists there. however, i see that we already have __va() in asm-generic/page.h. so you can assume __va() exists. so just change the existing definition to: #define xlate_dev_mem_ptr(p) __va(p) -mike -- 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/
