I've been aware of these warnings for a long time, but I've done nothing about it because the fix is much worse than the cure.
The is no reason the mach64 driver should be aware in any way of these SBUS framebuffer ioctls.
Either we can find a way to make X stop issuing these ioctls or simply ignore the kernel message, which frankly is harmless. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
