something is wrong with this patch... or even logical :/


If I extend the function static u64 geode_msr_read(u32 msrAddr) to print
out the full 64 bit value and hi and lo 32 bit values I get some
strange results.

diff --git a/vgasrc/geodevga.c b/vgasrc/geodevga.c
index a5a577c..e4136cc 100644
--- a/vgasrc/geodevga.c

     );

+    dprintf(1, "full: 0x%llx\n", val.val);
+    dprintf(1, "  hi: 0x%x\n", val.hi);
+    dprintf(1, "  lo: 0x%x\n", val.lo);
+
     return val.val;
 }


full: 0x7fffd0002127e0fd
  hi: 0x2127e0fd
  lo: 0x7fffd000
pmax: 0x212
pmin: 0x7e0fd
2131032 KB of video memory at 0xfd000000

Following problems:
1) 2131032 KB is wrong
2) hi and lo are swapped

If I revert your patch I get this:

pmax: 0xfd7ff
pmin: 0xfd000
8192 KB of video memory at 0xfd000000

Any idea?
