I pretty much expected that you would say that :) But seriously, the first important thing is to find all functions and to check whether they use irq internaly. Jiang has done that 'manually' or such, so the number of function which need an actual change are not that big. But I certainly don't want to hold you off thinking about it. Such stuff is not a unique problem :) tglx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
