A facility which isn't needed in-kernel and which has patches lined up in -mm to remove it entirely. A facility which isn't provided to userspace on other architectures, and which has been historically broken on i386 anyway. A facility which is unnecessary because glibc provides a functional version of its own (which even your own numactl uses). Kernel headers are _not_ a dumping ground for random crap like this. We're supposed to be trying to clean them up; in fact we _had_ cleaned this particular wart up -- and you reverted the fix, afaict without even the courtesy a Cc to myself, linux-arch or linux-kernel. Please fix this regression before 2.6.18. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
