A new pid argument has been added to _tlbie for 4xx platforms.
Add this argument to the 8xx path in mem.c, as well. As 8xx
does not need th epid information, this argument can always be 0.

This client tests DMA memcpy using various lengths and various offsets
into the source and destination buffers. It will initialize both
buffers with a know pattern and verify that the DMA engine copies the

Make use of pnp_{port,mem,irq,dma}_{start,end,flags} macros wherever possible
The macros to access the resource table in pnp sublayer was not used
consequently.
This patch makes use of these macros instead of accessing the resource
arrays directly.
For dma and irq also pnp_{dma,irq}_{start,end}
Unify the pnp macros to access resources in the pnp resource table
port, mem, dma and irq resource macros are now all used in the same
way. This is the basis (or makes it at least easier) for changing how
the resources are allocated for memory optimizations.

FWIW, I think this indirect syscall stuff is the most ugly interface
I've ever seen proposed for the kernel.
Well, there's no XML in /proc :) :).
But, yes, I agree that the internal code needs

Have you given thought to having to perform compat translation on this?
Today it's only copied directly from the user pointer into the union
in the task_struct.
I'd love if we could only use fixed-width fields in

Again I don't see the point of this change. A routine for cleaning up
resource tables expects logically to be passed a resource table to clean
up not
Changes:
- Introduce pnp_irq_no instead of pnp_irq_start (same for dma).
- Let irq and dma resource structs never access .end.
.end was always only a copy of .start for dma and irq
Some background what I want to do next to allocate resources on the fly:

cool patchset. Small nit, the series is not bisectable:
Yeah, in a few places.
Uli, this is super easy to test if you maintain the patches with guilt.
With some easy scripting around guilt push you can verify that the
series builds as each patch is applied.
