The patch series moves the compat code from include/linux/compat-*.h into new files with the same name as the file where this code is placed in the mainline kernel. With this approach we do not have to include all include/linux/compat-*.h files in the build process any more, but we extend the existing header files by the code needed. This compiles without any warnings for me with kernel 3.2 to 3.4 and fixes the problems with pr_fmt() without the need of any patch. Sometimes I had problems compiling compat-wireless, because some header file I would not like to include was included because of compat-2.6.h included mostly every header file available in the kernel. This patch series is only done to support kernel >= 3.2, supporting the other versions is just more work, but I want to have some responses on this first. There are probably some other problems and some more cleanup is possible. In the end we will remove the include/linux/compat-*.h files. I have a problem where compat does changes to header files provided by compat-wireless like #define NL80211_FEATURE_SK_TX_STATUS 0 in compat- 2.6.33.h. To make this work we should add an other include directory in compat-wireless. The hierarchy of include directories should be this: 1. include dir from compat, 2. include dir from compat-wireless, 3. the kernel include dir, now the 1. and the 2. are but into one directory.
