The PAE workaround is dying as I've already fixed HEAD to make boundary arguments use a bus_addr_t. However, I committed it in this fashion so it can be MFC'd since I can't merge the boundary KBI change. The reason I did not do this in the Host-PCI bridge drivers is that we would have to do this in umpteen different drivers, and all for a change that is mandated by the PCI spec and not specific to the various specs the Host-PCI bridge drivers all cater to (OFW, ACPI, MPTable, various and sundry embedded platforms, etc.). -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
