      [PATCH] MPC8xx PCMCIA driver · de957c89
      Marcelo Tosatti authored 
      Here is an uptodated version of the MPC8xx PCMCIA driver for v2.6,
addressing comments by Jeff and Dominik:

- use IO accessors instead of direct device memory referencing
- avoid usage of non-standard "uint/uchar" data types
- kill struct typedef's

Will submit it for inclusion once v2.6.14 is out.

Testing on 8xx platforms is more than welcome! Works like a charm
on our custom hardware (CONFIG_PRxK).

      [PATCH] ppc32 8xx: use io accessor macros instead of direct memory reference · e37b0c96
      Marcelo Tosatti authored 
      Convert core 8xx drivers to use in_xxxbe/in_xxx macros instead of direct
memory references.

Other than making IO accesses explicit (which is a plus for readability), a
common set of macros provides a unified place for the volatile flag to
constraint compiler code reordering.

There are several unlucky places at the moment which lack the volatile
flag.

      [PATCH] ppc: prevent GCC 4 from generating AltiVec instructions in kernel · 9e3699ea
      Lee Nicks authored 
      Depending on how GCC is built, GCC 4 may generate altivec instructions without
user explicitly requesting vector operations in the code.  Although this is a
performance booster for user applications, it is a problem for kernel.

This patch explicitly instruct GCC to NOT generate altivec instructions while
building the kernel.

Here are some test cases I ran.

(1) build gcc 4.0.1 with '--with-cpu=7450 --enable-altivec
    --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=7450', and use this gcc to build kernel WITHOUT
    this kernel patch.  Kernel fail to boot up on a 7450 board because of
    altivec instructions in kernel.

(2) build gcc 4.0.1 with "--with-cpu=7450 --enable-altivec
    --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=7450", and use this gcc to build kernel WITH this
    kernel patch.  Kernel boot up on a 7450 board without any problem.

(3) build gcc 4.0.1 with "--with-cpu=750 --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=750",
    and use this gcc to build kernel with or without this kernel patch.
    Kernel boot up on a 7450 board without any problem.

This patch should also work with GCC 3 or even earlier GCC 2.95.3.
