This looks fine to me - is there any chance we can get this in to mainline so we can avoid conflicts between this and some patches I'm working on atm to fix the unsafe UP+SMP kernel combination with ARMs bitops ? It's doing some stuff which needs to be done anyway (the casting to unsigned long pointers for the ext2/minix find bit functions) which otherwise will be duplicated in my patches. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of:
