PATCH 1/1 starfire: Fix dma_addr_t size test for MIPS

Commit 56543af "starfire: use BUILD_BUG_ON for netdrv_addr_t" revealed that the preprocessor condition used to find the size of dma_addr_t yielded the wrong result for some architectures and configurations. This was kluged for 64-bit PowerPC in commit 3e502e6 by adding yet another case to the condition. However, 64-bit MIPS configurations are not detected reliably either.

This should be fixed by using CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT, but that isn't yet defined everywhere it should be.

---
The MIPS conditions are changed to match those Tomonori specified for CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT.

Please change the condition to defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT) in net-next-2.6. I leave it up to you to decide when to make that change. (Simply applying a patch to net-next-2.6 now will result in a later merge conflict and breakage for those two architectures.)

Ben.

Applied to net-2.6, thanks.

The thing to do here is to make this change after the next merge window takes in Fujita's patch definiting ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT from the -mm set.
