Scanning from the host controller driver seems like a reasonable goal, though it'd take a bit of digging to extract whatever other things fsl_pci may depend on from the common PPC PCI code, in particular the various things that pcibios_resource_survey() does after all PCI buses have been scanned. There's also check_swiotlb_enabled(), another subsys_initcall, which frees the swiotlb memory if ppc_swiotlb_enable hasn't been set. The PCI host controller probe sets ppc_swiotlb_enable if it wasn't able to create an inbound mapping for all RAM. Even if we were to change that to a later initcall, there's nothing later than late_initcall that we could use. -Scott -- 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/
