PATCH: Altivec support for RAID-6

From: H. Peter Anvin
Date: Thu Nov 18 2004 - 01:57:13 EST


This patch adds Altivec support for RAID-6, if appropriately configured on the ppc or ppc64 architectures. Note that it changes the compile flags for ppc64 in order to handle -maltivec correctly; this change was vetted on the ppc64 mailing list and OK'd by paulus.
