I had vague plans to split this out into some form of ops structure, but they never got off the ground - and it probably would have been another layer of indirection that relatively slow sparcs might notice. Though it'd give us a chance for proper openprom support for SUN3(X) on m68k. > While looking through the code I noticed that > several functions/files was unused. > I used "git grep" in the kernel tree to check - and > I have sucessfully build a sparc kernel with > the patches applied. Looks good, for what it's worth.
