How will this be achieved? #include_next includes the next file with this name. http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gcc/cpp_11.html (middle) We can do it like it is done in include/linux/tracepoint.h in compat. If something changes in pci-aspm.h in the kernel we do not have to change anything for kernel > 2.6.25.
