There is no problem with that, i.e. the changes are trivial (except for pci_map_*, but that's another story). I don't know if it wouldn't break something, though. x86-64 and ia64 are much less tested than i386 and the change would alter i386 behaviour to that of x86-64/ia64. Again: which driver uses the consistent_dma_mask and where I can find it? -- Krzysztof Halasa Network Administrator - 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/
