Ugh. Step one for my cleanup is to rename __ASSEMBLY__ to something
defined
automatically by GCC (IE: __ASSEMBLER__). And yes, I checked,
__ASSEMBLER__
is defined by everything from old 2.95 to 4.0, even though it wasn't
really
documented in anything older than 3.4. This megapatch is basically a
search
and replace of __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ over the whole kernel
source,
except in Makefiles, where I just delete the -D__ASSEMBLY__
argument. If
this is generally acceptable, I'll break it up into small digestible
pieces
and send to individual maintainers, unless someone wants to pass the
whole
monster through their tree in one big lump. This is a lot of code
churn,
but it's a valid cleanup and will help me out as I try to make more
of the
kernel headers easily digestible for userspace.
Ok, the patch itself is temporarily located here (Please be nice to my
desktop, it has a 650MB/day upload limit imposed by Virginia Tech
that I'd
rather not go over) [patch is 308k]:

And here's the diffstat [27k]
