Hi...
The I2O subsystem currently map all memory from the I2O controller for
the controller's in queue, even if it is not necessary. This is a
problem, because on some systems the size returned from
pci_resource_len() could be 128MB and only 1-4MB is needed.
Changes:
--------
- only ioremap as much memory as the controller is actually using.
It would be nice if you could include it for 2.6.9 kernel :-)
Thank you very much.
Bye...
