With GFP_DMA this was possible, but the capability will be gone for x86 systems if your required DMA region is < 4GB. Besides I'm currently not planning to change mips so it might stay the same if Ralf prefers that. -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/
