Given that this patch has been queued for stable it caught my
eye for possible inclusion in Debian packages. But if I'm not
mistaken its just a build cleanup. Certainly the Debian kernels
do seem to build, well possibly with the exception of the 2.6.13
variant. Could someone shed some light on if a particular config
option is needed to show this problem and if it is only
a >= 2.6.13 problem?

Thanks
