And there are no good reasosns why the rules should be different for i386 and powerpc. This type of special casing is always bad. Think about it a little. Someone writes a generic driver and test it on i386 - OK. But for powerpc it result in a build failure. It would be so much better to warn about this situation early. We had this exact issue in loop.c recently - so it is not a made up example. [I recall it was ia64 that had a build failure but the example still holds ture] Sam - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
