Then again, I just realized that you are talking about factorizing common code across multiple architectures, instead of multiple drivers within sparc. yes, that would be even better. I could look into that, but would need help from other arch experts for help with extraction of the platform-dependant parts, implementation and testing. Looks like pci-calgary_64.c also has an obvious copy of the powerpc algorithm, and there are other *iommu.c implementations as well, where the duplication may be there, but is not obvious (from cscope etc.). --Sowmini -- 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
