I changed to to fail the probe but still use the hardware. If intpm is probed first (the smbus driver), your probe won't even get called. I think we need an early quirks or hooks handler in the pci probes to handle stuff like this. For example, we have hooks fixing up a handful of wierd bios misconfigurations, collecting these together via a quirks table or whatever would also give a convenient place for you to hook this sort of thing into, and without it being dependent on link or probe order. > Poul-Henning > > In message <19990920012447.C1C1B1CC5@overcee.netplex.com.au>, Peter Wemm writ es > : > >Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: > >> > >> If you have a PIIX4 based SMP system and run current, could you > >> please try out this patch: > >> > >> http://phk.freebsd.dk/piix/ > >> > >> I'm very interested in hearing if there are any measurable difference > >> apart from clock granularity being 3 times better. > > > >There is a problem with it as it tries to claim the same device as claimed > >by pcisupport.c and intpm.c.. pcisupport.c is where some folks have been > >hanging Tor Egge's RTC SMI trap patch from..
