Geert has explained the state of things quite nicely. Please send your patch to introduce HAVE_xxx. I'm sure maintainers will respond to it as it is the correct thing to do. But I don't want to add bloat to kernel for a random defconfig failure which no one will really use for ARC. If you think u can't/won't do it - let me know and I'll send the patches instead. -Vineet -- 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/
