Uh... 0xffffffffffffffff is always true so basically that's the same as 
deleting the
if condition.

I've added the linux1394-devel people to the CC list.

Justin has found an issue that when he boots with:  ohci1394_dma=early his 
computer
crashes.

He can get it to boot by modifying drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma.c:

init_ohci1394_dma_on_all_controllers()
   254          /* Poor man's PCI discovery, the only thing we can do at early 
boot */
   255          for (num = 0; num < 32; num++) {
   256                  for (slot = 0; slot < 32; slot++) {
   257                          for (func = 0; func < 8; func++) {
   258                                  u32 class = 
read_pci_config(num,slot,func,
   259                                                          
PCI_CLASS_REVISION);
   260                                  if ((class == 0xffffffff))
   261                                          continue; /* No device at this 
func */

        If he continues here then his system boots.

   262
   263                                  if (class>>8 != 
PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_FIREWIRE_OHCI)
   264                                          continue; /* Not an OHCI-1394 
device */
   265
   266                                  init_ohci1394_controller(num, slot, 
func);
   267                                  break; /* Assume one controller per 
device */

        This comment is not terribly clear btw.  The code assumes one 
controller per slot.

   268                          }
   269                  }
   270          }

dan carpenter
