Oh, it's certainly not urgent. I sent it simply for correctness reasons. It would've been nice to see the ZONE_DMA removal patches just #define ZONE_DMA regardless, and include less #ifdefs scattered about; but at this point, I'd just as soon prefer to see a proper way to allocate things based on address constraints (as discussed in http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/linux-ia64/0609/19036.html). > > CONFIG_ZONE_DMA isn't even optional on i386, so I'm curious how > you could hit this compile failure. > Why, with custom code of course ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

CONFIG_ZONE_DMA isn't even optional on i386, so I'm curious how you could hit this compile failure.
