It could report that a region is available and then another driver could immediately reserve that region, since check_region() doesn't have any reservation capability." /me wonders why check_region has not been killed, it has been deprecated for years; killing it would force developers to fix it and would help to identify unmaintained drivers... - 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/
