The proper fix is already implemented for arch/powerpc and consist of having virtual irq numbers (which helps for many other things anyway). Support for 4xx platforms in arch/powerpc is starting to get in, pop on linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxx where the patches are being posted and you are welcome to give a hand porting more platforms over :-) Ben. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
