I haven't checked it yet, but it may be possible for my updates to add calls to ioremap() from interrupt handlers, which may not necessarily be so neutral to performance if calculations are done out of line. With this inline implementation ioremap() expands to at most two instructions for qualifying calls and iounmap() expands to nothing. With an out of line version not only the address calculations are done at the run time, but you need to add an overhead of two function calls. I like the MIPS64 version best, though. ;-) > > Apparently the generic version is used for all platforms but the Au1000. > > I have only implemented the bare minimum required for the platform to keep > > working.

Technically, I can probably get convinced to do the dirty cut & paste work if asked to appropriately. ;-) Maciej
