Subject: [PATCH][2.5][Trivial] VIA Rhine Kconfig entry
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 01:34:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021208003456.GA12234@k3.hellgate.ch> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 297 bytes --]

Fix and update VIA Rhine description at least for 2.5 (I'll do 2.4, too, if
there's interest). Removed "experimental" flag for Rhine MMIO while I was
at it. Just barely resisted the temptation to make VIA Rhine conflict with
IO-APIC -- that seems to emerge as a fatal combo.

Please apply.

Roger
