Yes, having consistency is good.  But that should be mentioned in the
patch description, instead of a scary warning CCed to stable ;-)

BTW, you probably want to update the other copy of c_start() in
arch/m68k/kernel/setup_mm.c, too.

Thanks!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
