It would be better to make the change in one place, rather than for each architecture. That would appear to involve moving a hunk from arch/x86/Makefile into init/Makefile, or perhaps ./Makefile. That way it can still be tested on x86, and it is very reasonable to assume that it will work as intended on other architectures. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
