Re: IA32 - 6 New warnings (gcc 3.2.2)

[John Cherry]

The log for building sis_mm.c shows...

  CC      drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.o
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:37:25: linux/sisfb.h: No such file or
directory
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c: In function `sis_fb_alloc':
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:92: storage size of `req' isn't known
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:98: warning: implicit declaration of function
`sis_malloc'
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:105: warning: implicit declaration of function
`sis_free'
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:92: warning: unused variable `req'
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c: In function `sis_fb_free':
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:135: warning: int format, long unsigned int
arg (arg 3)
drivers/char/drm/sis_mm.c:135: warning: int format, long unsigned int
arg (arg 3)

The bug is that linux/sisfb.h should be video/sisfb.h on line 37 of
sis_m.c.  The latest linus bk tree and mm kernel seem to have it right.
The snapshot for this build last night must have been between
changesets.

And...the warning makes sense in this context because sis_memreq is
undefined if sisfb.h is not included.  :)
