Perhaps make it dependent on CONFIG_ISA ? But even that would not help on distribution kernels. Another way would be to check in PCI systems if there is a ISA bridge and for others assume ISA is there. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
