There is a lot of UDI related mail on list, yet I can't find any piece about x86 "onlyness" of these binary-only drivers. It is my opinion that multiplatform availability is one of most important things about Linux. Just imagine GPLed UDI interface layer and x86 binary-only drivers, layer ported to Alpha/SPARC/ARM and drivers easily "portable" to AMD, Cyrix, IDT and "lots" of other CPUs. Is it easier to insist on source-only drivers or x86-emulate kernel-space drivers? :) Or just leave non-x86 ports behind?
