The way it was originally designed was that they use GFP_DMA32, which would map to itself on x86-64, to GFP_DMA on ia64 and to GFP_KERNEL on i386.

No GFP_DMA32 in my current plan is still there. -Andi - 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/
