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...
