The patch titled
uml: borrow const.h techniques
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
uml-borrow-consth-techniques.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: borrow const.h techniques
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven - use const.h to get constants that are usable
in both C and assembly. I can't include it directly since this code can't
include kernel headers. const.h is also for numeric constants that can be
typed by tacking a "UL" or similar on the end. The constants here have to be
typed by casting them.
So, the relevant parts of const.h are copied here and modified in order to
allow the constants to be uncasted in assembly and casted in C.
