Right. To be honest, any driver submitted now which has CONFIG_ARCH dependencies is totally crap and we shouldn't merge. We have portable interfaces for every aspect of operation that a driver might need to use, and for where that isn't the case we should fix that. Even architecture specific hypervisor interfaces should have NOP versions defined when building on other systems. Frankly, every single driver under drivers/ should be available to build on any platform, and it should build cleanly. So the drivers that aren't available to build on all platforms right now are just bugs waiting to be fixed :) -- 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
