Okay, the bi_recs need to be copied. Something for you to do over the weekend ;)
I don't know how to do that in a way acceptable to you. I only know how to do things my way, which I've done in my patch which you've pocket-vetoed. MS ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

IIRC, your original patch did the parsing in parse_bootinfo() or so in arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c which means each new driver bi_rec needs to modify arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c, which isn't nice. What we need is something like how we save Motorola residual data or bd_info stuffs (memcpy in platform_init). -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
