Note, I do not have a sparc compiler at my disposal, so I was not
able to compile (or boot) test this change.

Here's the original code:

static int process_ver_nack(struct ldc_channel *lp, struct ldc_version 
*vp)
{
        struct ldc_version *vap;

        if ((vp->major == 0 && vp->minor == 0) ||
            !(vap = find_by_major(vp->major))) {
                return ldc_abort(lp);
        } else {
                struct ldc_packet *p;
                unsigned long new_tail;

                p = handshake_compose_ctrl(lp, LDC_INFO, LDC_VERS,
                                           vap, sizeof(*vap),
                                           &new_tail);
                if (p)
                        return send_tx_packet(lp, p, new_tail);
                else
                        return ldc_abort(lp);
        }
}


And the new code:

static int process_ver_nack(struct ldc_channel *lp, struct ldc_version 
*vp)
{
        struct ldc_version *vap;
        struct ldc_packet *p;
        unsigned long new_tail;

        if (vp->major == 0 && vp->minor == 0)
                return ldc_abort(lp);

        vap = find_by_major(vp->major);
        if (!vap)
                return ldc_abort(lp);

        p = handshake_compose_ctrl(lp, LDC_INFO, LDC_VERS,
                                           vap, sizeof(*vap),
                                           &new_tail);
        if (!p)
                return ldc_abort(lp);

        return send_tx_packet(lp, p, new_tail);
}

This should be binary the same. But as I said, I do not have a sparc 
compiler to test.

Thanks,
