[PATCH] add MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC to asm-parisc/termios.h

[PATCH] add MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC to asm-parisc/termios.h

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Hi,

	I noticed this one on parisc64 with the latest bk tree:

  CC [M]  drivers/char/n_hdlc.o
drivers/char/n_hdlc.c:985: parse error before numeric constant
drivers/char/n_hdlc.c:985: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `MODULE_ALIAS_LDISC'
drivers/char/n_hdlc.c:985: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
drivers/char/n_hdlc.c:985: warning: data definition has no type or storage classmake[2]: *** [drivers/char/n_hdlc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/char] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

	This patch makes it compile, doing the same thing that was done to
include/asm-i386/termios.h, please see if this is acceptable, if it is I can
provide the same patch for all the other arches.

if it's the same for all arches, why not put it in <linux/termios.h>?

These are the strings used to identify the required line discipline
module to kmod, aren't they?

Since modprobe.conf seems to be generated without much regard for
architectures, is there any reason why this definition should differ
amongst architectures?  I think the answer's "no", so I think this fix
should be in linux/termios.h (or somewhere architecture independent).
