You have 4 ifdefs before you even get to the body. And good luck trying to actually keep track of that mess. They clearly go in 2 pairs, right? One parameter is "do we have padding" (== does ABI prohibit passing 64bit value in 4th and 5th words), another is the order in which the halves of 64bit are passed. On l-e you have bits 0..31 in the first one and bits 32..63 in the second; on b-e it's the other way round. Only the logics for putting them together into a 64bit value cares which half is which; insisting on the names of form <something>{hi,lo} gives you arseloads of similar variants in ifdefs, all for the sake of not having conditional code in the body. Or, actually, in the inlined helper for building that 64bit out of two halves... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
