Well, I can't for the life of me see why conftest fails on this one, but I just went in manually and edited the conftest.sh to force acpi_walk_namespace to 7 arguments, and then had to also force pci_dma_mapping_error to 2 arguments and it built fine. So now I have a driver, but I have no idea why the testing fails. NOTE: I do run a 64 bit kernel on a 32bit userspace so perhaps that's why? I usually install the 32bit driver without building a kernel module and build the module from the 64 bit driver... By the way, it would be nice if the driver could detect a 64 on 32 configuration and adapt accordingly. Thanks.
