The patch titled x86: remove locally-defined ldt structure in favour of standard type has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is x86-remove-locally-defined-ldt-structure-in-favour-of-standard-type.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: remove locally-defined ldt structure in favour of standard type From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> arch/i386/kernel/reboot.c defines its own struct to describe an ldt entry: it should use struct Xgt_desc_struct (currently load_ldt is a macro, so doesn't complain: paravirt patches make it warn).
