Re: [PATCH]2.6.3-rc2 MSI Support for IA64

ia64 already has a function ia64_alloc_vector(void) in arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64, why the doubling?

IMHO this should be CONFIG_IA64 only.



To avoid some #ifdef statements as possible, "ia64_platform" defined in the header file "msi.h" is set to TRUE only if setting CONFIG_IA64 to 'Y'. The setting of ia64_platform
to TRUE will execute function ia64_alloc_vector.

This API is only used in assign_msi_vector()in msi.c:

vector = (ia64_platform ? ia64_alloc_vector() :
assign_irq_vector(MSI_AUTO));

Thanks,
