If we do this, then everybody will just be lazy, and nothing will ever change. The lesson we learned (a number of times) is that people only start moving when it really hurts, i. e. when things really break for them. I don't like that, but if it's the only way to make any progress then so be it. > If d-cache will be enabled by default on ARM I think I have to send a > patch for one of my boards :-) Why don't you just help identifying and fixing the problems in the misbehaving drivers?!? That would be a _much_ more helpful approach. Thanks.
