Hi, This patch is needed in order to compile kernel modules that uses some of the DCR functions. For example, compiling powerpc emac driver as module it is needed. Arnd, Dennis Spathis pinged me about this today and I thought it was a closed issue but still open. If you find it okay please upstream it or let me know if any modifications needed. Thanks. -- Bye, Murali

Paul, please apply in either for-2.6.24 or as a fix for 2.6.23. The patch is obviously correct, as the now exported functions were meant to be used by modules in the first place. No code in the kernel currently uses it, so it's not urgent.
