Subject: Re: [BUG 2.6.20-rc2-mm1] init segfaults whenCONFIG_PROFILE_LIKELY=y


I am wondering if we should define __likely/__unlikely macros no matter whether
CONFIG_LIKELY_PROFILE is defined, like the following. This way people can always
use the raw macros in case the debugging version causes problems.
