The suggested patch adds manual padding to the acpi_device_id structure definition in include/linux/mod_devicetable.h I didn't take it, and it appears that nobody else did either. It is not in Linus' tree (as of 2.6.23-rc2). I expressed doubts about whether this is the right fix. The problem is that when cross-compiling a locally compiled utility makes a size & alignment check. This is bogus. We shouldn't care whether this structure compiles to the same size/alignment as the kernel that will use on the target platform. Is fixing this the right way (make the scripts/mod/file2alias.c understand target alignment rules in a cross environment) just too hideous to contemplate ... and we should just sacrifice 7 bytes of padding in order to keep life simple? -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
