Module support for 8260 in 2.4(.1) kernel

[Oliver Brown]

I tried to export the __udelay() in the ppc_ksyms.c but the kernel will
not build:

	....../arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c:448 undefined reference to
'__udelay'

I'm guessing that because __delay is an inline function it can't be
exported.

Regards,
Oliver Brown

Er, you should be able to at least kludge around this and use __udelay
which skips the macro (which just does sanity checks).

Er, what tree is this vs exactly?  Also, can you send a unified diff
next time?
