Specific to m68k, following changes has been made based on m68 family
;) feedback,
None of my comments were specific to any architecture.
One thing i had in my background, but realize now that didn't express
anywhere in my mails, in essence what Geert mentioned, i.e. being legacy
code, i did not give a treatment that would have been given to adding
new code.
But m68k subthread has been a very lively one and as not many changes,
felt it was not fair from my side not to handle almost as though it is a
new code addition.
I took Geert's comments to be architecture agnostic but perhaps I
misunderstood.
BTW, how do you distinguish between "new code" and "legacy code"?
And why would you choose to do that when you are writing a tree-wide
semantic patch?
