Problem compiling SMU driver [was: Cross compiling linux-2.6.12-rc1 G4 -> G5]

Hello Xavier,

in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx/ directory

I've just done it, and I get the same error as previously: namely

-- <snip> --
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:45:21: asm/smu.h: No such file or directory
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:47:26: asm/abs_addr.h: No such file or directory
.. <more warnings/> ..
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:310: error: `smu_cmdbuf_abs' undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:310: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:310: error: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/macintosh/smu.c:326: warning: implicit declaration of function `abs_to_virt'
make[3]: *** [drivers/macintosh/smu.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/macintosh] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers] Error 2
-- <snip/> --

I guess this is because I'm compiling linux-2.6.12-rc1 with
CONFIG_PMAC_SMU enabled. SMU replaces the PMU (Power Management Unit) in
newer single-CPU PMacs G5 (and iMac G5 BTW), so I guess I need it (or
have you been able to do without it?). The corresponding patch was
written by BenH. I'll try to move blindly some files from asm-ppc64 to
asm-ppc to see if I can unblock the make process (this might make no
sense, so if anybody (Ben?) thinks so, please shout!).

Thanks!

Francois
