Hi,
This patch is meant to add handling of more __attribute__ shorthands
from include/linux/compiler_attributes.h.
I am a bit worried about the code size though. Is it better altogether
to have a shared function for parameterized/non parameterized
__attribute__ arguments? Might have to categorize the macros then.
What do you think is better?
Thanks,
Dwaipayan.
