Hi Jakub,

Aha, good spotting. I explicitly set CONFIG_SMP in check_asm.c, but
I still need __SMP__ because the kernel corpus still uses the classic
symbol. I have merged this in for the next version.

I also noticed that the kernel source ships with a pre-built
include/asm-{sparc,sparc64}/asm_offsets.h. I can't re-make these files.
Do you want to mail me these files and I can put them in the patch,
or how do you want to handle this?

That sounds ok to me. But it probably sounds horrible to Linus during
a code freeze. Is the sparc code completely frozen yet, or are you
still merging bits in?

Whatever happens, I still need a week or two of field testing anyways.
And we are indeed in a Code Freeze.

Cheers,
