part from alpha. It would make the code in compat/linux cleaner.
Or just undo what you did above and leave it as it is. :) I've done
various
things on the compat code over and haven't been really bothered by the
#ifdef __alpha__'s.
But this would introduce a dependency on COMPAT_43 again...

In all honesty, Alpha is tier-2, and its days are numbered. That
doesn't mean that I'm proposing that it get axed from CVS right now,
but I also don't think that it is worth spending a lot of time on.
As long as it is surgically/cleanly removed to ensure that Alpha
at least continues to build removing Linux compatibility does not
appear too much of a problem.

I agree.
