Single code to support *all* x86-32, IA64, and x86-64 platforms No. Megaraid is a PCI card. Therefore this one codebase should support *all* PCI-capable architectures, not just these three. Nobody's requiring that you test on all the weird and wonderful architectures out there, just that you don't do things like #if defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__ia64__) #endif when you really mean #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT #endif -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
