Hi Jeff, Still cleaning up, I see? On 10 Jun, this message from Jeff Garzik echoed through cyberspace:
Does this patch, against 2.4.0-test1-ac13, look ok to you guys?
Looks good to my, AFAIKT. Only potential problem I see is the PCI IO region access on PPC machines without ISA, where there has to be a translation applied. But that will probably be only finally resolved in 2.5...
NOTE: Maybe a PPC kernel expert can tell me whether pci_enable_device on PPC actually enabled PIO/MMIO regions correctly? If so, this patch can, in addition to the change above, also remove the "manual" setting of the PIO bit in PCI_COMMAND.
Not that I would call myself a kernel expert, but yes, pci_enable_device() works correctly on PPC. So you can remove the manual IO enable.
