Khem,

I just built multiple linux-yocto kernels, for all the qemu targets
and haven't seen this
error at all. Do you have any special configuration that would be
triggering this ?

The change itself looks sane, and in fact makes sense, since the rest
of the file
has the same protection for the new defines. Nothing has changed that
should have triggered
this to become an issue. I'm just trying to figure out why it has
popped up now.

I also checked and the 3.2 kernel still has the same issue, so pushing
it upstream makes
sense as well.

And I see you asked on IRC, so I'll answer here. Submit a patch to the
kernel like
any upstream kernel change. Simply send the patch right from your
linux working tree,
and I'll pickup the change, merge it into the tree, push it out and
send a pull request
with updated SRCREVs that collect all the queued changes.

Cheers,

Bruce
