FYI: [2.5 patch] let broken drivers depend on BROKEN
Subsystems (6)
The patch below isn't meant to be applied now, a similar patch should be applied soon before 2.6.0.
This patch adds a dependency on an undefined BROKEN to all drivers that have longstanding compile errors.
Additionally I'll add a
config BROKEN_ON_SMP
default y if !SMP
and add BROKEN_ON_SMP to the dependencies of drivers that don't compile with SMP enabled (e.g. because of cli/sti usage). I was too lazy to search for the BROKEN_ON_SMP drivers in 2.5.72 but the idea should be clear.
