ipc: HARD_MSGMAX should be higher not lower on 64bit
Quoting Amerigo Wang (amwang(a)redhat.com): It looks weird that we have HARD_MSGMAX lower on 64bit than on 32bit, since usually 64bit machines have more memory than 32bit machines. It does look like this may have been an accident. Making it higher on 64bit seems reasonable, and keep the original number o... 11 Dec 2009 11:21

Dear Steven, Mostly looks good to me. Couple of minor comments inline below. I'd also like to see some documentation for this chip. We don't really want people to have to read the data sheet in order to find out what the various modes and frequency settings are for example. Datasheets have a nasty habit of d... 11 Dec 2009 08:02
