please do not send patches that modify include/asm/ files, the 
include/asm-x86/ file should be modified instead.

(this problem will go away in v2.6.28 when we'll move include/asm-x86/ 
to arch/x86/include/)

coding style problem: please run checkpatch.

ok, that looks much nicer.

no need to pass in the condition by reference.

stray linewrapped patch line - see Documentation/email-clients.txt.

please declare inline functions explicitly as 'static inline'.
