From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The collateral evolution (CE) on the fb_info data structure that added the skip_vt_switch element can be simplified further by replacing the #ifdef hell with a static inline. Furthermore, if the static inline is added upstream it'd mean we can get rid of all these static inline replacements for this data structure element CE.
