there are numerous places throughout the source tree that apparently
calculate the size of an array using the construct
"sizeof(fubar)/sizeof(fubar[0])". see for yourself:

  $ grep -Er "sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)" *

but we already have, from "include/linux/kernel.h":

  #define ARRAY_SIZE(x) (sizeof(x) / sizeof((x)[0]))

a simple script to make the appropriate cleanup, given the directory
name as an argument:

================== cut ================
#!/bin/sh

DIR=$1

for f in $(grep -Erl "sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)" ${DIR}) ;
do
  echo "Fixing $f ..."
  perl -pi -e "s|sizeof\((.*)\) ?/ ?sizeof\(\1\[0\]\)|ARRAY_SIZE\(\1\)|" $f
done
=======================================

  of course, the file must (eventually) include linux/kernel.h but one
would think that applies to the majority of the source tree, no?

  just a thought.
