RE: porting from 32 bit to 64 bit linux

You shouldn't have to do much, if anything,
depending on how your existing code is written.
If you already handle 64bit pointers and physical addresses,
and as long as you have no assembly in your driver,
(IA64 does not permit assembly)
you shouldn't have to make any changes.
