[PATCH 01/12] lib: create common ascii hex array

Harvey Harrison
2008-05-12T19:05:34Z

Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it.

Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is
done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value.

Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many
places in the tree that will be consolidated.

Andrew, please drop the two patches in -mm titled:

lib-add-ascii-hex-helper-functions.patch
lib-add-ascii-hex-helper-functions-update.patch

As this patch series drops the _u8/u16/u32/u64 helpers that were close
the simple_strtol etc. The remaining changes are all pretty trivial
and provide a nice cleanup.
