Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] remove the broken i82443bxgx_edac driver

The i82443bxgx_edac driver was added more than one year ago, but after
only 3 seconds in Linus' tree it got a dependency on BROKEN with Andrew
stating:

It will claim the PCI devices from under intel_agp.ko's feet.
Greg is brewing some fix for that.

Since noone seems to care enough about this driver to get it working we
can as well remove it.

This driver does work as long as it's not used concurrently with
intel-agp, and I know of at least one user of it (who has been locally
diking out the dependency on BROKEN).

With the dependency on BROKEN it might stay at having one user...

Is anyone going to fix it proerly?

Or should we work around the problem with a dependency on AGP_INTEL=n?

Why not just make the same hack as in i3000_edac.c, i82860_edac.c,
i82875p_edac.c and i82975x_edac.c?
I mean code around all occuriencies of 'mci_pdev'.
This hack still needs some polishing (at least for i82875p and i82975x), but it
works for me (I have AGP stuff compiled into kernel).
I attach 10-minutes copy-paste patch (completely untested, sorry, idea only).
I have 443gx just upgraded to 2.6 so I'll try to test it in next few days.

Best,
Vladislav

Yes, I have patches in my private tree to get multiple drivers to
devices working. Unfortunatly they also currently cause the machine to
crash in wierd ways, so they aren't quite there yet :)

I'll be working on them with other kernel developers in a week at a SuSE
Labs conference so we should be able to pound something out pretty soon.

thanks,
