With the addition of topdir-mm.patch into the -mm tree (since

file in the top level directory.
inside Makefile:
mm-kernel := $(TOPDIR)/.mm
ifneq ($(mm-kernel),)
MM_KERNEL_CFLAGS := -DMM_KERNEL=$(shell cat $(mm-kernel) 2> /dev/null)

Hi Michael.
The content of the .mm file seems to be insignificant - '1'. The important
issue is that the file is present.
Also please do not use $(TOPDIR) - it is deprecated.
The following is enough:
EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(if $(wildcard $(srctree)/.mm), -DMM_KERNEL)
If the file exist in the root of the kernel src tree MM_KERNEL will be
added to EXTRA_CFLAGS.
Sam-
Thank you! I knew there might be a more efficient way to do that, so
I'm glad I sent that to LKML for you to see ;-)
Still, I think it should be added into the documentation somewhere...
I'd be happy to submit a patch, I just don't know where it should go.
Obviously, this is specific to -mm kernels only. Do you know?
