Thanks. I will take care of the rest, and continue trouble-shooting
on parallel-link communication, which is still a little shaky.

Ok, I think we should do the following:



- Remove the 2.4/2.6 directory, and put everything back in one

directory.

   I talked to some people from MontaVista a few days ago, and it

seems like 

   the 2.4 support is not that important for them, so we can skip that

altogether.

- Remove all "placeholder"  code, like the whole contents of proc.c,

and the 

   inter-cluster configuration code in cfg.c. This code  can be

re-introduced once 

   it is redesigned and functional. We get rid of almost all the

#ifdefs this way. 

  The MODULE flag can also easily be removed, as Mark pointed out. If

there is

   more we should consider each case.

- We go systematically through the code and replace (where possible)

the linear 

   linked lists with the Linux supported ditto. 

   The exceptions are places in the core where we  have queues (there

are two such, 

   I think) of  sk_buffs. To retain a minimum  level of OS portability

for the core 

   code I still insist that sk_buffs should only be accessed via

macros/inlines, inclusive 

   any next/prev pointers.

- Re-run Lindent on everything. 



Anything more ?



I will delay the announcment at LKML until this is done. (-Anything to

avoid being 

welcomed by flames from the community ;-) )



Can I hope to get any help with this ?

    



I can help out with the linked list conversion.



Mark.
