Re: [PATCH 0/1] m68k: Handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies

[Michael Schmitz]

Niklas,

how do you propose we handle legacy drivers that do depend on 
inb()/outb() functions (_not_ actual ISA I/O) on architectures that map 
inb()/outb() to MMIO functions?

(In my case, that's at least ne.c - Geert ought to have a better 
overview what else does use inb()/outb() on m68k)

Cheers,

    Michael
