I suspect the flush_data_cache() is a relic from the olden days -- I think the flush_icache_range() call should be sufficient.

The pdc_iodc_putc() call I mentioned in a missive yesterday.

isa_bus_to_virt() is an interesting one. We don't currently have virtual mappings for the ISA bus. This driver needs to be converted to use ioremap(). I'm tempted to mark it !PARISC in Kconfig. Or rather, mark it ARM || MIPS || X86 since those are the only architectures which implement isa_bus_to_virt.

STI scares me. I don't understand why we need the dummy console. I don't know if it makes any sense to build your console as a module. I don't know why sticore is in the console directory.

I fixed all the other allmodconfig problems I found ;-)

Yes. flush_kernel_dcache_range() may need to stay as well.

Why ?

AFAIK, we need the dummy console, because at the point where other arches initialize their graphics subsystem, we can't do it. We do it later when all infrastructure is available and then take_over_console().

Why not ?
Switching from sti console to another one should be possible IMHO. It's even good when debugging the STI functions.

sticore is used by stifb and sticon.
It has more console functions, so IMHO it's OK.
