It actually works on x86 - I just booted it, and it all seems ok. The
extra abstraction generates *one* extra instruction in fs/namei.c, but
on the whole that all seems ok.
But the asm-generic.h thing was in a half-arsed half-way-state between
your version and my final interface, so it sure as hell wouldn't have
worked on sparc or openrisc.
This is the "fix up that header file to actually do what it is
supposed to do" version. Sorry about that,
Linus
