Re: realmode _WAKEUP

Hello Paul, thank you for answer.

Yes i saw video-*.c files, but i can't understand how compilation of
these video-*.c files depends on _WAKEUP macro...

For example if'd remove -D_WAKEUP, i get errors during realmode.elf linking:

arch/x86/realmode/rm/video-vga.o: In function `vga_probe':
/home/alex/dev/linux/arch/x86/realmode/rm/../../boot/video-vga.c:259:
undefined reference to `boot_params'

As you wrote there are many #ifndef/#endif directives, but why there
_WAKEUP is undefined everytime, but we pass it from command line with
-D_WAKEUP?

Thank you.
