I feel like > this is a pretty common thing and the ifdefs aren't very pretty. :( Smatch actually warned about a real thing here: atomisp is doing a check in 32bits that it is always true. So, IMO, something is needed to prevent 32bits extra useless code somehow, perhaps via some EFI-var specific function that would do nothing on 32 bits. That's the first time I noticed this code on media (although I might have missed something), so I guess this kind of checking is actually not that common. Regards, Mauro
