[PATCH 0/4]: Respun LMB patches.

[PATCH 0/4]: Respun LMB patches.

[David Miller]

I've taken into consideration the various feedback, and
ported the bug fix and other LMB patches posted recently
in an effort to keep the patch churn by others down wrt.
my moving of these files.

1) Use HAVE_LMB as suggested by Sam.

2) Fix potential build errors wrt. asm/prom.h dependencies.

   My algorithm was:

   a) If the file only included asm/lmb.h I added an include
      of both linux/lmb.c and asm/prom.h

   b) If the file already includes asm/prom.h, I merely
      changed the asm/lmb.h to linux/lmb.h

   Header include mimimizations can be done as followon patches.

3) Integrate Kumar Gala's initial region fix.

4) Integrate Becky Bruce's large physical addressing change,
   but using u64 instead of phys_addr_t.

It's all at:

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/lmb-2.6.git

like before.

Thanks for picking up the patches from Kumar and myself and fitting  
them into your series - this is much appreciated.  FYI, I applied the  
entire patch series to my local tree and test-booted both mpc8641 and  
mpc8568mds and both build and boot cleanly. I also built pasemi and  
ebony, those build cleanly as well.

Cheers,
Becky

I plan on actually testing this on Ebony, Walnut, and Bamboo either
later tonight or tomorrow.  I don't expect many issues.

Dave, those above boards would cover the build of PowerPC 4xx CPU cores.
Just an FYI.

pasemi_defconfig boots happily on my boards here. I've kicked off my
"build all powerpc defconfigs" script while I leave the house for a
couple of hours, but as others have said, no problems are expected...

It builds and boots on legacy iSeries (and seems to be working ok) as well.

That fixes the build failures I was seeing, ack.

Ok, booted just fine on Ebony (PowerPC 440), Bamboo(PowerPC 440 + FPU),
and Haleakala (PowerPC 405).

Thanks for testing.
