Not sure how easy that would be. The host_alloc and dp_alloc gets called at few times _before_ kmem_cache_init() is called, so a kmalloc call panic()s the kernel. I know, because I tried to use kmalloc for handling the linked lists for the dp_alloc/free functions. It would make allocating buffers in drivers easier. > Let's clean this up and do it right if we are going to do it at all. Cleaning up is always good. Any more suggestions before I remove the #ifdefs and resubmit? ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
