Have you looked at the number of ENTRY uses for code vs for data? If all you're after is separating the two uses, then it might be a smaller patch to change the ENTRY use for data rather than changing all the ENTRY uses for code. There are 589 uses of ENTRY in arch/arm/*/*.S. Of those about 50 aren't called code. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
