Additionally, this patch does: - remove the useless "default n" - remove note regarding binary only modules (nowadays, there are even some binary only modules compiled with REGPARM=y available) Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk --- This patch was already sent on: - 6 Jan 2006 --- linux-2.6.15-mm1-full/arch/i386/Kconfig.old 2006-01-05 23:28:27.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.15-mm1-full/arch/i386/Kconfig 2006-01-05 23:28:42.000000000 +0100 @@ -626,13 +626,10 @@ default y config REGPARM - bool "Use register arguments (EXPERIMENTAL)" - depends on EXPERIMENTAL - default n + bool "Use register arguments" help Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3.
