Hi, This patch converts all save_flags/restore_flags to the new spin_lick_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore calls, as well as some other 2.6.X cleanups. This prepares the way for the "io8+", "sx" and "rio" drivers to become SMP safe. Patches for those drivers follow. Signed-off-by: Patrick vd Lageweg Signed-off-by: Rogier Wolff Patrick
