[PATCH 17/40] UAPI: Fix E820_X_MAX ordering problem [ver #3]

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jul 28 2011 - 11:52:50 EST


There's an ordering problem around the definition of E820_X_MAX: the definition
in the kernel-specific header is referred to in the user-specific header data
structures, at least for x86. When compiling userspace, the user-specific
header provides an alternate version of E820_X_MAX.

To get around this problem, place a marker specifically to indicate the point
at which the UAPI header should be included in the kernel-specific file. The
marker will be deleted later.
