This patch provides a new kernel API for access ROMs from device
drivers. If you're working on a driver that uses the ROM (most video
drivers) please give this patch a try and send some feedback/bugs.
pci_map_rom() - map the rom and provide virtual address, transparently
return shadow/copy if need

I get a new kernel from Redhat about every two weeks. Redhat is at
2.6.7 and Linus is at 2.6.8. Nobody releases g
