The code is filled with #defines that rename linux functions - mutex_spinlock, spin_lock_destroy(), whatever. There is so much renaming that they even create a prototype for a #define:
> arch/ia64/sn/io/sn1/pcibr.c > L40: #define rmalloc atealloc > L331: extern uint64_t rmalloc(struct map *mp, size_t size);
(it seems sn1 got killed recently, I searched in lxr.linux.no)
AFAICS ate_malloc should die, and the rmalloc callers should use request_resource & friends from <linux/ioport.h>.
