Staging: Comedi: Build only on arches providing PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE
On architectures that don't define PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE, the Comedi driver turns
into tragedy:
CC [M] drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.o
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c: In function ‘comedi_buf_alloc’:
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c:505:41: error: ‘PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.c:505:41: note: each undeclared identifier is rep orted only once for each function it appears in
make[3]: *** [drivers/staging/comedi/drivers.o] Error 1
Restrict the driver to only those architectures that define PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE.
PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE is a kludge - some system architectures such as SGI IP27
are even uable to offer uncached operation - at least in the way an unwitting
driver might assume. I haven't looked in details how the driver is using
the area vmaped with PAGE_KERNEL_NOCACHE but maybe doing it XFS-style using
cached memory and the flush_kernel_vmap_range / invalidate_kernel_vmap_range
APIs in conjunction with the DMA API is a practical alternative.
