We define a lot of empty stubs when CONFIG_PCI is not set. I'm not sure all of them make sense, so I'm a little hesitant to add more. If I had time, I think it would be really interesting to turn off CONFIG_PCI, remove some of the existing stubs, and see what breaks. Then we could look at the actual code and figure out whether the best solution is to keep the stubs or to add CONFIG_PCI dependencies, add CONFIG_PCI #ifdefs, etc. Bjorn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
