I'm hoping that kbuild gets asm-generic support sometime soon so files
with only a "#include <asm-generic/*>" are generated instead of living
in the tree. In that case I'd rather have the non power of 2 constants
added to the generic sizes.h and be done with it. There isn't any strong
technical reason to deny power of 2 constants from the generic header,
right?
No.
I just think that power-of-2 sizes are more generic, not compulsively of course.
Sam Ravnborg had introduced a patch set to provide generic support for
architectures that using one-line asm-generic headers.
It almost ready - but my spare time has been spent on sparc lately.
Will try to take alook at it again soon.
