[parisc-linux] explicitly allocate executable pages?

[Grant Grundler]

Could someone explain the following code in arch/parisc/mm/init.c?

The #warning doesn't make sense to me since it's inside !defined()
for the thing it's talking about.

thanks,
grant

#if !defined(CONFIG_STI_CONSOLE)
#warning STI console should explicitly allocate executable pages but does not
                                /*
                                 * Map the fault vector writable so we can
                                 * write the HPMC checksum.
                                 */
                                if (address >= ro_start && address < ro_end
                                                        && address != fv_addr
                                                        && address != gw_addr)
                                    pte = __mk_pte(address, PAGE_KERNEL_RO);
                                else

Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either.
Running serial console only (without STIcon or STIfb) give me that
error message aswell, which is slightly confusing ;-)
