I wouldn't consider that "massive".

I think this is a good step in the right direction, and if we're going to go through a small amount of pain for little gain or a moderate amount of pain for better gains, I'll pick the latter. IOADDRESS is used for multiple types (ioports) in the legacy API, so it's better to just get rid of it and avoid confusion/collision. It's not *THAT* hard to change the types in the drivers. If the drivers need multiple PCI domains, then perhaps this is a good time to start divorcing those drivers from using the bus support in hw/xfree86 and start using libpciaccess directly. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
