The patch titled i386: CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START cleanup has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is i386-config_physical_start-cleanup.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386: CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START cleanup From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> Defining __PHYSICAL_START and __KERNEL_START in asm-i386/page.h works but it triggers a full kernel rebuild for the silliest of reasons. This modifies the users to directly use CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and linux/config.h which prevents the full rebuild problem, which makes the code much more maintainer and hopefully user friendly.
