The main question I have is, where should the IXP4xx access-library be located in the kernel directory structure?
Maybe you can explain to the list readers what it is and what it does?
If it's ixp4xx-specific, arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx might just be the best
place. The ixp2000 microengine loader was put into arch/arm/mach-ixp2000
for mostly that reason (being ixp2000-specific), while the ethernet driver
that uses that microengine loader will live under drivers/net/.
Please comment on this and let me know if such an effort has any chance of getting accepted into the official kernel.
Assuming that the license issues have all been worked out now, it'll mostly depend on the quality of the code. (If this is the same Intel code that I saw a while ago, I think it'll need a fair amount of work before it can go in.) cheers, Lennert ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel FAQ: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/faq.php Etiquette: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/mailinglists/etiquette.php
