-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Andi Kleen Very old binutils (2.12.90...) seem to have trouble with newlines in assembler macro invocation. They put them into the resulting argument expansion. In this case this lead to a parse error because a .rept expression ended up spread over multiple lines. Change the PMDS() invocation to a single line.
