[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Always use STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Testing done by Paul Mackerras has shown that with a modern compiler
there is no negative effect on code generation from enabling
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

So remove the option, and always use the strict type definitions.
