not quite - h8300 and m68k have it as (equivalent) static inline.

No objections, but that kind of stuff might be better done in a different
way: ask Linus to run this
git grep -n -w get_ds | tr ':' ' ' | while read file line junk; do
case "$file" in
*include*|tools*)
;;
*)
ed $file <<EOF
${line}s/get_ds()/KERNEL_DS/
w
q
EOF
;;
esac
done
just before -rc1, then follow it up with "kill unused get_ds()" patch
right after -rc1.
