Hi Michael,
I have complete faith in you... ;-)
And this certainly simplifies things considerably, which
is always good.
But -- can you give me a warm-and-fuzzy feeling by confirming
that you tested this on a RHEL kernel? And that "make warn"
compiles cleanly?
I *knew* my faith was well-justified...
I just compiled and verified s390 on RHEL4, and s390x on RHEL5,
and I'll presume the other combos work just as well.
Nice work! Queued for the next release.
Thanks,
Dave
