No idea - I don't know about x86 nuances and why they wanted: #if defined(__i386__) && (defined(CONFIG_M386) || defined(CONFIG_M486)) #define _INLINE_ inline #else #define _INLINE_ #endif Maybe someone in the x86 world needs to comment? Does the above even mean that we'll ever inline anything marked _INLINE_ ? -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core
