"Or, we could just do the ugliest patch ever, namely
-#define pcibus_to_node(node) (-1) +#define pcibus_to_node(node) ((int)(long)(node),-1)
Wow. It's so ugly it's almost wraps around and comes out the other side and looks pretty."

--
Program Intellivision and play Space Patrol!
Linus sure knows how to
Linus sure knows how to encourage people to work on "his" kernel...
I bet the guy who did this patch is installing Windows now ;-)
Linus is installing Windows?
The guy who wrote that patch was Linus himself (commenting on crazy ways to avoid gcc complaining about uninitialized variables). I guess Linus is now a Windows user.
I don't think so
Since "the guy" was Linus, I doubt that very much ;-)
window$ sux
Are you sure you want to install Windows? Are you sure you want to continue? Are you sure you are sure? Are you sure you want to move the mouse? Are you sure you want to hit the key? Are you really sure enough? ... window$ sux !
