That has happened and yes, asm-generic/types.h is currently equivalent to asm-generic/int-ll64.h. What exactly are you planning to do? Just rename the latter to the former and do search-and-replace over the tree? We still have places that pull int-l64.h, albeit only !__KERNEL__ ones (i.e. everything under #ifdef __KERNEL__ in there seems to be killable)... AFAICS, for quite a few of those guys we can simply add bitsperlong.h and add types.h to generic-y; is that the plan? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
