Ooh, shiny. Is this more of a "I am pretty sure it will break" or "I am
pretty sure it will work" stack?
It's on the "I'm pretty sure it will work" side of the fence :) The
patch is
taken from Andrew Mortons tree and I've tested it on a range of architectures,
firewire controllers and firewire devices here. One caveat, though: only
storage devices works at this point, user space API and streaming
functionality is not yet in place. So for a little while we'll see missing
features from the firewire stack. However, I hope to have it back to a level
where libraw1394 and libdc1394 will work, and where porting the rest is
reasonably easy within a month.
cheers,
Kristian
