the arch defines __uClinux__ for the build.

This patch was achieved by running the following three commands:

perl -pi -e 's/ifdef __uClinux__/ifndef CONFIG_MMU/' `find arch/m68k -name "*.[ch]"`
perl -pi -e 's/ifndef __uClinux__/ifdef CONFIG_MMU/' `find arch/m68k -name "*.[ch]"`
perl -pi -e 's!endif /[*] __uClinux__ [*]/!endif /* CONFIG_MMU */!' `find arch/m68k -name "*.[ch]"

Have you verified that this does not leak out
to the userspace headers?
We cannot use the CONFIG_ symbol to distingush between
the two variants in userspace.

This was exactly the reason why __uClinux__ was used
in the first place. But I hope Geert/Greg has fixed
it up so all exported headers are the same so that
this patch is OK.

Well, I don't quite have them all fixed yet. I have been working
through them, merging the separate files, and getting rid of the
use of __uClinux__ where ever I can. Most of the cases in David's
patch are the files I still have out-standing to merge back
together. The exceptions are param.h and sigcontext.h - and
they are a bit more tricky. They are user exported, and they
actually change data structures.

At first look I think it is OK - but your changelog
does not address this so wanted you to confirm this.

I don't have any problem with David's patch if we take out param.h
and sigcontext.h. But over time most will go away as I merge them
anyway.

Greg
