No, I still get these:

In file included from drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi_apci_035.c:7:0:
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/addi_common.c: In function 'i_ADDI_Attach':
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/addi-data/addi_common.c:2765:7: error: implicit declaration of function 'virt_to_bus'

virt_to_bus is only defined for 32 bit powerpc (not 64 bit) (and maybe
not at all on some architectures e.g. sparc).

From Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt:
"All drivers should be using these interfaces with no exceptions.  It
is planned to completely remove virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt() as
they are entirely deprecated.  Some ports already do not provide these
as it is impossible to correctly support them."
Drivers that use virt_to_bus should Kconfig depend on VIRT_TO_BUS.
Ah, I missed that, sorry.  I'll go make that change as well.
Ping?
Sorry, been swamped with other work, I'll get to this soon...
ping?

With a very relative value of soon.
Yeah, I understand busy ... but this is a simple patch, rigth?
Sorry, I'm away from home, with a very spotty internet connection, on
vacation, so it's hard to get this done at the moment.  I'll get to it
on the 27th when I return.

thanks,
