Hi Guenter,

can you try the patch below? This just converts the huge allocations
in mptbase to use GFP_KERNEL. Christophe (added to Cc) actually has
a scripted conversion for the rest that he hasn't posted yet, so I'll
aim for the minimal version here.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I will not send pci_ --> dma_ conversion for this driver.
I'm a bit puzzled by some choice of GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC that not all that obvious to me.

I'll try to send some patches for other easier drivers in the coming weeks.

Best regards,

CJ
