This is good idea, but I believe LOG_BUF_LEN needs to be a power of
2.
The obvious solution struck me just after the last email. I change
the config parameter to be an order, like the argument to
get_free_pages(). How does this look? It's not tested, but there
isn't much to it...

There are two ways, the PAE flag and the PSE-36 feature introduced in
P3. These extensions are documented in the IA-32 Intel Architecture
Software Developer's Manuals, which you can find here:

Look in Volume 3, Chapter 3 for this info.

This looks great, in fact I was working on something similar for
myself. Unfortunately, like all good documentation, it's already
slightly out of date. Just this morning I noticed that as of the
2.4.2-preX, the __make_request function no longer contains this code:

Please apply one line patch to the top level Makefile. This points
the build tools at the correct linux include dir.

Ok, my bad, I forgot about cross-compiles. The problem was
scripts/split-include.c includes errno.h, which requires linux/errno.h

Currently in brw_kiovec, iobuf->io_count is being incremented as each
bh is submitted, and decremented in the bh->b_end_io(). This means
io_count can go to zero before all the bhs have been submitted,
especially during a large request. This causes the end_kio_request()
to be called before all of

The driver loads for me on 2.4 on Intel, but I don't have access to an
Alpha right now. Have you tried Mathew Jacob's driver? It looks like
it supports Alpha.

I can't find that function, do you mean page_cache_free() and
page_cache_release(), both are aliases for __free_page(). Maybe we
need another alias. :)

devices.txt does need some updating. It still lists char-major-13 as

two Joystick drivers, or can char-major-15 be obsoleted/deleted?

How's this? Should char-major-15 be obsoleted, deleted or just left
in for now?
