Only drivers/net/niu.c does, it does the physical address handling by hand. You can't use the DMA interfaces because dma_addr_t is 32-bits and there is no reason to bloat up the kernel by making it 64-bits just for one or two drivers that want to work with real physical addresses instead of DMA addresses. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
