2.6.22-rc3-mm1: __attribute__((weak)) considered harmful

[Adrian Bunk]

statistics-infrastructure-make-printk_clock-a-generic-kernel-wide-nsec-resolution.patch 
shows why __attribute__((weak)) is harmful because you don't see if a 
required non-weak implemtation is missing:

In this case, the weak printk_clock() was renamed to timestamp_clock(), 
but the ARM and i386 implementations weren't renamed...

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
