[ from advogato, entry #18 ]

It looks like the PowerPC CPU itself can perform automagic byteswapping on entire memory regions, so when we map in the PCI address space, it does the conversion for us. Which is a bit annoying. Easy enough to fix. As soon as I hear back from my tester, I'll code up a patch that won't break things for everyone else. :)

Meanwhile, shaftnet died last night. That poor box already had one foot in the grave, and now the rest of it is slowly getting dragged in. It's back up now, but who knows how long it'll go before crashing again. Hopefully it'll hold together until July for a hastily-planned overhaul.
