Hello, Greg,

Could you please consider the following commit for 2.6.32-stable?
It fixes a build error that some people are seeing.

Ok , That was the very reason for why I asked this question .

I also mentioned not seeing the first file in the patch so I had to go
back & edit it also .

Yes , Removing the 'inline's from all three locations gets me past the
rcu error issue . But now I am into errors in the code that I was really
interested in getting 2.6.32 for are now error'ng . I'll place those
errors onto the list & other authors in another email .

Thank you , for your efforts & the success . JimL
