The VGA register accessors try to accomodate iomem and ioport accesses. If they are given a non-NULL iomem pointer 'regbase' they use iomem accesses, otherwise they do direct ISA port poking. And yes the drivers in question are making some brash assumptions. I suspect they should be using ioremap() or similar. -- 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/
