Adrian,
No, you're right, it's only a HAVE_DEC_LOCK, I've grepped too fast... my bad
Walter, I agree with putting that in the Kconfig, but I still think an error
it's more scary than a warning, most people don't care that much about
wasting some compile time, but they do care (and freaks out) when an error
appears in the compilation process...
Users won't complain for a warning if the overall works fine, but if you give
them errors, well, they're not going to be happy... (users/admins/people that
aren't crazy for optimization)
Vicente
