I really don't buy this. I'd also rather the kernel use Kconfig based symbols to detect for arch availability of feature X or Y, assuming things are CPP symbols is very fragile at best. I'm not applying this, sorry. I mean, you didn't even bother to mention what symbol this does matter for. -- 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/
