If you look at the git logs, you'll notice there's some progress towards this. It's already the case for the narrow boards. I have a patch to rip it all out for the wide boards, but there's clearly a bug because it crashes my parisc machine. Works fine on x86 though. I can't work on it this week because I'm travelling and the parisc machine with remote power died on me last week. I think I already suggested a temporary CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS dependency to akpm last week. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." - 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/
