Hi Arik,
adding the LINUX_BACKPORT() line should be enough to rename it
everywhere in backprots, so you do not have to modify
backport/compat/backport-3.11.c or manually add the prefix anywhere else.
Could you try if this fixes your problems with phys_wc_to_mtrr_index:
...
+#define phys_wc_to_mtrr_index LINUX_BACKPORT(phys_wc_to_mtrr_index)
#ifdef CONFIG_MTRR
extern int phys_wc_to_mtrr_index(int handle);
#else
static inline int phys_wc_to_mtrr_index(int handle)
{
return -1;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_MTRR */
