If people hate the ({0;}) so much, we could replace it with:
static inline int _WARN_ON_SMP(void) { return 0; }
#define WARN_ON_SMP(x) _WARN_ON_SMP()
That would pretty much do the same thing.
o Keeps the parameters from being evaluated, as they may not be defined
for SMP
o Can be used as a standalone statement without gcc complaining
o Can be used within an if condition.
Geeze, I never expected such a fuss over a simple change ;)
