Fair enough, but then they don't need to happen as early as they do now; any time during kernel startup should work (as long as they aren't freed with the drivers if they're unloaded). How about switching to __get_free_pages and doing the allocation inside an arch_initcall or similar? -- Hector Martin (hec...@marcansoft.com) Public Key: http://www.marcansoft.com/marcan.asc _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
