Altix SN2 2.6.16-rc1-mm5 build breakage (was: msi support)

[Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>]

Andrew,

The following patch seems to be breaking my ia64 sn2_defconfig
build of 2.6.16-rc1-mm5:

    gregkh-pci-altix-msi-support-git-ia64-fix.patch

I'm guessing you should remove it for now.


Details:
========

When I try to build an ia64 sn2_defconfig 2.6.16-rc1-mm5, the
build fails:

    arch/ia64/sn/pci/tioce_provider.c:699:49: macro "ATE_MAKE" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
    arch/ia64/sn/pci/tioce_provider.c: In function `tioce_reserve_m32':
    arch/ia64/sn/pci/tioce_provider.c:699: error: `ATE_MAKE' undeclared (first use in this function)

If I remove the patch:

    gregkh-pci-altix-msi-support-git-ia64-fix.patch

then it compiles fine.

It seems that someone added a patchset to change the ATE_MAKE()
macro from 2 to 3 args, then someone added this above fix patch
for a missed change, then someone reverted it all back to 2 args,
but leaving this fix patch.

I guess it means Andrew should remove the above patch.

But I really do not know what is going on here.
