Hi Ingo.
We have recently introduced a lot of new warnings for our
userspace headers.
Try to do a "make headers_check" and enjoy...
Are there any chance you could ask one of your helpers to
start to look into the x86 specific ones?
If we get x86 clean this would create more incentive to
make the generic clean too.
I had originally planned to attack the generic headers
(include/linux/*) but I'm faced by reality after my
vacation and has almost no spare time for the time being.
I already fixed the sparc headers but that is not
visible compared to x86 (the fixes was btw easy).
I can try to help by doing a few reviews in the
beginning but I need to fix kbuild stuff first where
I have a few serious issues pending. And lacks time...

I'll have a go at some of them this afternoon unless someone beats me to it.

thanks Harvey! Please work against tip/master if you do that, there's a
few header file changes in the queue already.

hmm... what I've got:
---
cyrill@lenovo linux-2.6.git $ make headers_check
CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date.
cyrill@lenovo linux-2.6.git $
---
I don't know what to think...

Sam, I hope to find some spare time for this
tomorrow (it's night here). At least in one
moment headers_check assume that CONFIG is exported
into user space even being bound by pure C comments.

/home/cyrill/projects/kernel/linux-2.6.git/usr/include/asm/e820.h:13: leaks
CONFIG_NODES to userspace where it is not valid

Just a note.
