Bug in staging vme_user

[ternaryd]

Hi,

I'm aware, that vme_user is meant to be a debugging tool more than an
end-user module, but as it is a skeleton for individual developments as
well, this still may be considered as a bug.

The point is, that vme_user must not be compiled into the kernel, it
needs to be built as a module. Otherwise, vme_user is executed before
vme_tsi148 (and probably any other hardware driver) and hence can't
find any device at all.

As this is the skeleton we are supposed to use, it would be nice if
there was a solution to this problem. If not, a well exposed
comment/warning may save others a lot of time.

I've come so far to understand, that a master window is configured by
opening /dev/bus/vme/m0 and making an ioctl call with the
VME_SET_MASTER command. But besides 0, any base address (VME space) for
that window is rejected. Would it be possible, that someone posted a
few lines, showing how it is done correctly? As vme_user was used for
debugging vme_tsi148, there should be a way to set up such a window and
write/read a few demo values, right?

Thanks,
