The __raw variants already accept both __iomem pointers and integer addresses, which was largely intentional. New code could use the __iomem annotations while older code could continue to use the integer addresses without issue. If you wish to go through the kernel and audit every single __raw user, you're certainly welcome to, but until then such a change is premature. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
