Looks like the code for dealing with x86/amd64 logs is never actually
enable in mainline because nothing defines HAVE_FORMAT32.

Actually since it's all #ifndef (note the n) everything under the
#ifndefs -is- enabled (since it's never defined), so I think it's all
functional.... structures under the #ifndefs are used outside the
#ifndefs, so the #ifndefs can probably just be removed...?

Yep (sorry, just missed your email).

Would need to sort out the userspace header sharing situation first as
mentioned in the hch email.
Cheers,
Tim.

It is enabled, the HAVE_FORMAT32 is #ifndef around some particular type
definitions. (The code has been tested:)
It is currently used because those header files are shared between
userspace and kernel. And in userspace, there is a case where the 32bit
format definition is already defined in another header file - that
case is for IRIX, whose pack syntax is different with its compiler.
So if this is a concern then I would need to have these defined elsewhere
or break the kernel/userspace link on this file, etc...
Suggestions welcome...
