Refactor the list of constant variables into a macro.
This should make it easier to add more constants in the future.

I'm not sure whose tree this has to go through - I guess Arnd's?

This is for 6.12, right?

Yeah.

I can take it through the asm-generic
tree if that helps, but someone else should review it first.

If you have any other patches that would depend on this patch,
you can also take it through the other tree and add

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

for cross-architecture bits.

Thanks!

I was thinking of maybe trying to write a patch based on it that'd
have to go through the MM tree (for using this in kfence), though I'm
not sure whether I'll actually do that yet. So your suggestion makes
sense, maybe hold off on putting this in a tree for now...

I don't think I'll get around to doing anything on top of this patch
for the next few months at least, please take it through your tree.
