Hi Alan,

The acpi stuff doesn't compile.

acpitable.c: In function `__va_range':
acpitable.c:479: `FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_0' undeclared (first use in this function)
acpitable.c:479: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
acpitable.c:479: for each function it appears in.)
acpitable.c:496: `FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END' undeclared (first use in this function)

Regards,
Udo.

Odd, that part builds fine here. The missing declaration you get is
declared in fixmap.h, which is included from pgalloc.h. Untar a fresh tree,
and reapply the patch.

regards

Dave.

I'm not sure why i haven't seen a patch for this one yet, or why it seems
nobody else has said anything, but here's a typo fix for 2.4.12-ac5.
