kernel patch with updated DRM (relative to 2.4.8)
OK, Chris' mega patch finally made it and I updated the kernel patch at ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/ accordingly. That directory now contains:
linux-2.4.8-ia64-010815.diff.gz
Which is the complete ia64 patch relative to the official 2.4.8 tree.
Apart from the DRM update, I fixed the semicolon typo that prevented compilation with older compilers and I also added rwlock_init().
Enjoy,
