You mean:

ERROR: space prohibited before that close parenthesis ')'
#46: FILE: arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge.c:64:
+		(((unsigned short)(x) & (unsigned short)0xff00U) >> 8) ))

ERROR: space prohibited before that close parenthesis ')'
#53: FILE: arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge.c:71:
+		(((unsigned int)(x) & (unsigned int)0xff000000UL) >> 24) ))

Well, I had copied that verbatim from arch/mips/boot/elf2ecoff.c and
thought that it is better readable, but it is easy to fix.

V3 is coming.

Nikolaus
