Folks,

I just noticed my builds were coming up with warnings inside
QUOTADEBUG code. I never saw a patch go past that enabled it
for debug kernels, so I was kinda confused until I found this:

chook 232% p_modinfo -h xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30878a

mod xfs-linux-melb:xfs-kern:30878a header

 - Description:
   Remove unused HAVE_SPLICE macro.

   HAVE_SPLICE was part of the infrastructure for building 2.4 and 2.6
   kernels out of the same tree. Now we don't build 2.4 kernels this
 - Files affected:       xfs.h 1.51
 - Author:       donaldd
 - xfs.h:
   Remove unused HAVE_SPLICE macro.

Which was supposed to be:

Seeing as this mod has already made it to Linus, we can't revert it easily.

Donald, can you do another checkin that returns xfs.h to it's previous
state and removes the HAVE_SPLICE stuff correctly?

Cheers,

Dave.
