Are you interested in doing it? Unfortunately I no longer have access to that SIL3512 miniPCI card so I wouln't be able to test on IXP425. Perhaps it's not a problem, testing on i386 (probably with disabled MMIO BAR) should be enough. OTOH IIRC SIL3x12 needs to use the MMIO write to start BM DMA, otherwise the AT-style 64 KB limits apply. I think IXP4xx would benefit from only ioread8() going through normal IO. Do you know what platforms have the MMIO problems? What kind of problems are there, inability to use MMIO at all? (IXP4xx can't do 8/16-bit MMIO reads). -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
