Which operation depends on the width of userspace, so in all likelyhood I have to just duplicate the code.

The question is "Are you OK with the existing ABI?" :-) Cheers, Carlos. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
