    [PATCH] Fix sparse parse error in lppaca.h · c6b3feaf
    Bryan O'Sullivan authored
    
    
    sparse can't parse a struct definition in include/asm-powerpc/lppaca.h,
    even though gcc can accept it.  The form looks like this:
    
            struct __attribute__((whatever)) foo { };
    
    An equivalent that both gcc and sparse can handle is
    
            struct foo { } __attribute__((whatever));
    
    This is the only definition of this type in the tree, and fixing it is
    easier than fixing sparse.

    [ Side note: fixing sparse wouldn't be hard, but the "attribute at the
      end" version is the canonical one, and the one that makes sense. So
      let's just fix the kernel instead. Luc Van Oostenryck already sent
      out a sparse patch to the sparse mailing list in case anybody cares.
