Hitoshi Mitake 797a796a13 asm-generic: architecture independent readq/writeq for 32bit environment ... This provides unified readq()/writeq() helper functions for 32-bit drivers. For some cases, readq/writeq without atomicity is harmful, and order of io access has to be specified explicitly. So in this patch, new two header files which contain non-atomic readq/writeq are added. - <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with the order of lower address -> higher address - <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h> provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with reversed order This allows us to remove some readq()s that were added drivers when the default non-atomic ones were removed in commit dbee8a0aff ("x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()") The drivers which need readq/writeq but can do with the non-atomic ones must add the line: #include <asm-generic/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h> /* or hi-lo.h */ But this will be nop in 64-bit environments, and no other #ifdefs are required. So I believe that this patch can solve the problem of 1. driver-specific readq/writeq 2. atomicity and order of io access This patch is tested with building allyesconfig and allmodconfig as ARCH=x86 and ARCH=i386 on top of tip/master.
