No objections, but that kind of stuff might be better done in a different way: ask Linus to run this git grep -n -w get_ds | tr ':' ' ' | while read file line junk; do case "$file" in *include*|tools*) ;; *) ed $file <<EOF ${line}s/get_ds()/KERNEL_DS/ w q EOF ;; esac done just before -rc1, then follow it up with "kill unused get_ds()" patch right after -rc1.
