This part was cribbed from jazzsonic. As a consequence, macsonic once again works as a module. Driver model is also used by the DMA calls. - Support 16 bit cards (macsonic & core driver, also affects jazzsonic) This code was adapted from the mac68k linux 2.2 kernel, where it has languished for a long time. - Support more 32-bit mac cards (macsonic) Also from mac68k repo. - Zero-copy buffer handling (core driver) Provides a nice performance improvement. The new algorithm incidentally helped to replace the old Jazz DMA code. The patch was tested on a variety of macs (several 32-bit quadra built-in NICs, a 16-bit LC PDS NIC and a 16-bit comm-slot NIC), and also on MIPS Jazz.
