Peter, sorry about delay in replying I was out of town for weekend. I will
apply your patch and git back to you on results. A quick look a the patches
indicates that nop.h and the users of nop.h are not addressed so I may have
to combine your patches with Linus's Kconfig patch to get a working kernel.
David
