When the offsets change, I don't want the code to just automatically adjust the assembler offset defines. Instead, I want whoever changes things in this area to carefully analyze the side effects. For example, if anyone adds members, it now makes the trap block larger than the power of 2 it currently is, and that means the shift used to compute a cpu number to a trap block offset no longer works. Also, if members are moved, cache alignment of adjoining members means that rearrangement must be done carefully. This means, overall, nothing should happen automatically when people make changes to the trap block. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
