Hi,
Do we really want these two filenames as they are right now? We have: Documentation/IO-mapping.txt Documentation/io-mapping.txt

The initial 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 3) usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 4) ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 5) as it would consume too much of the kernel address space. 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 6) 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 7) A mapping object is created during driver initialization using 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 8) 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 9) struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base, 9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 10) unsigned long size)
So the IO-mapping.txt was there first. Keith, can't we rename your file? For example,
Documentation/io-mapping.txt => Documentation/io-mapping.h.txt -- Kees
