  On an unrelated note, I have a problem with this change:

+2001-07-24  NIIBE Yutaka  <gn...@m1...>
+
+	* include/asm-sh/segment.h: Removed.
+	* arch/sh/kernel/pci-sh7751.c: Remove inclusion of <asm/segment.h>.
+

  I know that for SH, <asm/segment.h> is empty, but it is included
in several places in the core kernel.  Removing the file entirely
rather than just leaving it empty means we have to modify mainline
files to not include it anymore.  This means the following files 
have pointless one-line differences between the SuperH and mainline
kernels:

drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c
drivers/input/joydev.c
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/pcmcia/tcic.c
drivers/sound/soundcard.c
fs/devfs/base.c

  Trivial diffs in mainline files which provide no actual functionality,
create unnecessary problems with maintaining the drop-in tree.

  So can we please have include/asm-sh/segment.h back?

Greg.
