From 6182a0943af2235756836ed7e021fa22b93ec68b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 12:16:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dmapool: Tidy up includes and add comments We were missing a copyright statement and license, so add GPLv2, David Brownell's copyright and my copyright. The asm/io.h include was superfluous, but we were missing a few other necessary includes.
