I'm porting a driver from the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 kernel.
One of the operation in the driver is to configure a programmable
oscillator on our PCI device. This effort required floating calculations.
In the 2.2 and 2.4 kernels this worked fine. Now I get to 2.6 and ouch!
I need floating point calculations. The calculations are not time critical
so an emulation would do just fine. How do I get this into the driver.
