Hello Rusty,
Right now I see so many places in the kernel
where we open code binary search implementations
such as search_extable implementations.
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?a=powerpc;i=search_extable
Would it be ok to replace this with bsearch lib code?
I am not trying to fix any problem nor I see
any problem in current implementations but
if we can replace the large amount of code
would it not be a good reason to send a patch
for this?
