Subject: [PATCH 4/3] Documentation: Remove references to FASTCALL/fastcall
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:45:00 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1202766300.10004.21.camel@brick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080211131738.dda66683.akpm@linux-foundation.org>
An example function prototype and description of options that
modify how arguments are passed had references to fastcall.

Andrew, I don't have the knowledge to deal with the rcupdate.c
wrapper function, hopefully Paul will be able to have a look.
Also, the UML reference is to a config option UM_FASTCALL, not
the FASTCALL macro.
