Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: Add build-time check for UNAME26

Message-ID: <1425301852-31298-1-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
Add a build-time check for the major version number, to make sure Linus
will update the UNAME26 implementation (and the comment at the top of
the function) at the next version increase.
