Hi Tom,

to build an i2c driver as a module, m8xx_cpm_hostalloc must be exported.
We are using a driver which is not in the kernel tree[1]. I tried to
merge the in-kernel i2c driver with it, but I failed and don't have the
time to investigate why our driver works with the dbox2 board and the
in-kernel driver doesn't.

This function has been exported in 2.4. Is it ok to do that for 2.6,
too?
Must the driver use hostalloc?  I didn't think that i2c was called so
early that kmalloc/bootmem_alloc() (or so) couldn't be used.
