OK, so you're saying architectures that don't want this constraint can make their own macro. Seems to make this whole exercise slightly less useful, but whatever. I see three ways to go here: 1) Leave it as is. 2) Force all architectures to use a common definition. 3) Provide a common definition that all architectures (except "arm") currently using this functionality will use. I have a v2 patch to implement #3, ready to post. Do we think this is the way to go? I don't like #2 because I really don't want to rename all uses of the current register fields for arm since this is architecture-specific code to begin with and since it affects code in 39 arm source files. > cheers > Thanks, -dl -- 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/
