Please don't limit the API design to PCI ;)
When I say "PCI pools" think "struct device pools" because that will what it will be in the end.
That is Linus's long range plan, everything you see as pci_* will become dev_*.
So I'm not really limiting the design in any way. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
