Re: [Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 0/10] ps3: fixes for ps3_gelic driver
Since gelic and spidernet are 95% identical it would be a good idea to cc the spidernet maintainer Linas on these patches (ccd on this reply).

Re: [PATCH 21/21]: powerpc/cell spidernet DMA coalescing

Signed-off-by: Linas Vepstas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: James K Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Arnd Bergmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] While this patch wasn't useful in the current cell implementation of pci_map_single it sounds like people are going to be making changes to that sometime. In light of that new information (new to me anyway) this should probably go in after all. Sorry for causing trouble.
