[PATCH] binutils-2.16 & kernel-2.6.11.10

[Herbert Rosmanith <kernel@wildsau.enemy.org>]

hi,

the "not being able to compile kernel with latest binutils" problem is also
present in 2.6.11.10, at least in:

arch/i386/kernel/process.c
arch/i386/kernel/vm86.c
include/asm-i386/system.h

substituting movl with movw for segreg moves will make it work again,
but I don't know if these are the only files which are probably affected, too.

(by the way - I once found an webpage which allowed viewing LKML in
"realtime", but I've lost the adress - would anyone be so kind and tell
me where I can find this?)


please find the patches below:
