Re: [Xenomai-core] Linux powerpc merger

[Heikki Lindholm]

 It would seem

quite easy and there's already lots of redundant code there, but 
possible problems arise from being able to work with both the old 
unmerged kernels and the future merged arch kernels.


Would the issues be located at the Adeos level, or would this leak to 
Xeno's arch-dep layer?

I suppose adeos level should go nicely with the kernel changes once 
they're in place; we can easily mimick the kernel techniques (#ifdefs) 
to tell which arch we're on. The issues would be with Xeno having to 
distinguish the kernel were building for. I'm quite sure putting all the 
Xenomai stuff under a common powerpc and having a few #ifdef 
__powerpc32/64__ won't be enough. Having SAID that, it probably will 
enough, though :)
