The latest code now enables the IOC3 metadriver to support that in a portable way. The only thing that's still missing is a portable way to allocate an interrupt number. > I'm still not sure for per-cpu type irq chips and egdg type irq chips, > especially i8259. The i8259 seems not suitable for handle_edge_irq or > handle_level_irq yet. The irq handling on SMP seems another maze ... One step after another. Ralf
