We'll need to update uml as well (contents of shared/kern_constants.h) As for the arch/ia64/kvm/asm-offsets, AFAICS that could go straight into arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.c, under ifdef CONFIG_KVM. I'm not sure about sed job, BTW - might be better to start with arch/*/include/asm/asm-offsets.h containing just one include, then do the transition you want piece by piece. And then kill these files as corresponding architectures lose the last unconverted includes. Fewer merge conflicts with the stuff in architecture trees that way and the final result will be exactly the same... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
