I've got patches for all files ready and posted them a couple of times already - the problem is, some maintainers are not responsive / ignoring me ... so I'm afraid but I guess we'll be in this inconsistent state for a little bit longer... > If we want to switch to __ASSEMBLER__ for the UAPI headers today, > we should instead invert the logic of this patch to consistently use it > everywhere.
