Here are a series of 12 patches that I've added to my quilt tree for 2.6.26 that delete the "shadow" PCI device tree. There is no real need to keep two lists of all PCI devices in the kernel, the driver core should be able to properly handle all of this.
We do keep the bus list of devices, as that is still useful for a lot of things, and I don't see any obviously easy way to clean that up at the moment. Overall, the patch ends up deleting a lot of code, which is always a good thing. Comments are appreciated. thanks, greg k-h ---------------------- Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 4 - arch/frv/mb93090-mb00/pci-frv.h | 2 - arch/frv/mb93090-mb00/pci-vdk.c | 53 ----- arch/mn10300/unit-asb2305/pci-asb2305.h | 2 - arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pci_dlpar.c | 7 +- arch/sh/drivers/pci/pci-sh4.h | 2 - arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c | 3 +- arch/x86/pci/common.c | 61 ------ arch/x86/pci/pcbios.c | 72 ------- arch/x86/pci/pci.h | 3 - drivers/ide/ide-scan-pci.c | 9 +- drivers/ide/ide.c | 12 - drivers/pci/bus.c | 15 +- drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig | 4 +- drivers/pci/hotplug/cpcihp_generic.c | 8 +- drivers/pci/probe.c | 56 ++---- drivers/pci/remove.c | 10 +- drivers/pci/search.c | 313 +++++++++++----------------- include/asm-sh/mpc1211/pci.h | 2 - include/linux/ide.h | 1 - include/linux/pci.h | 20 +-- 21 files changed, 159 insertions(+), 500 deletions(-) --------------- Greg Kroah-Hartman (12): PCI: remove pci_find_present PCI: remove pci_get_device_reverse from calgary driver IDE: remove ide=reverse IDE core PCI: remove pci_get_device_reverse PCI: clean up search.c a lot PCI Hotplug: make cpcihp driver use modern apis PCI Hotplug: the ibm driver is not dependant on PCI_LEGACY PCI: remove initial bios sort of PCI devices on x86 PCI: make no_pci_devices() use the pci_bus_type list PCI: add is_added flag to struct pci_dev PCI: remove pcibious_fixup_ghosts() PCI: remove global list of PCI devices -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
