Wrong way around. :) If you change the sub-arches to declare the smp operations as const, and try and pass them into a function which doesn't take a const-pointer, you'll get a warning. The core bits need to go in first before the sub-arch patches. I think the series has limited value - it allows us to (a) check that a small quantity of code doesn't write to these things, and (b) allows us to move the SMP operations structure from __initdata to __initconstdata. It's still going to end up in the init region which is read/write in any case, and still gets thrown away. Given where we are, I don't think we need to rush this in during the last week before the merge window opens, even though it's trivial. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
