Hi,
I noticed this variable, defined in mm/nommu.c,
mm/nommu.c:int heap_stack_gap = 0;
This variable only shows up once, and never shows up in elsewhere.
Can some one tell me is this useless? If so, I will submit a patch to
remove it.

Resend to kernel-development list.
The original email wasn't plaintext mode and was rejected by
kernel-development list.

Hint: Do not be afraid to do a bit of git research when you want to do
clean-ups like this.
