Uh... 0xffffffffffffffff is always true so basically that's the same as deleting the
if condition.

I've added the linux1394-devel people to the CC list.

Justin has found an issue that when he boots with: ohci1394_dma=early his computer
crashes.

He can get it to boot by modifying drivers/ieee1394/init_ohci1394_dma.c:

init_ohci1394_dma_on_all_controllers()
254 /* Poor man's PCI discovery, the only thing we can do at early boot */
255 for (num = 0; num < 32; num++) {
256 for (slot = 0; slot < 32; slot++) {
257 for (func = 0; func < 8; func++) {
258 u32 class = read_pci_config(num,slot,func,
259 PCI_CLASS_REVISION);
260 if ((class == 0xffffffff))
261 continue; /* No device at this func */

If he continues here then his system boots.

262
263 if (class>>8 != PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_FIREWIRE_OHCI)
264 continue; /* Not an OHCI-1394 device */
265
266 init_ohci1394_controller(num, slot, func);
267 break; /* Assume one controller per device */

This comment is not terribly clear btw. The code assumes one controller per slot.

268 }
269 }
270 }
