Grr. This one seems to introduce this annoying warning:

when doing an allmodconfig.

Maybe it gets fixed later in the series (I am about a third through
your pull requests), but it's clearly bogus.

What the heck is wrong with that macro anyway? It is used in one
single file, and it is _defined_ twice - in two other files. Somebody
was very very confused when they wrote that code.

I'm going to let the pull stand, since it doesn't seem to actually
break anything, but this needs to be fixed.
