Done! You can pull the 'for-x86' branch of

    git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vegard/linux-2.6-headers.git
for-x86

(that's gonna wrap.) The first commit
(d160e5c4f1b912ec7c1583c393bb3db66cdb63c2) is the interesting one, the
rest are just manual fix-ups.

I've looked over most of it to make sure everything's okay; in
addition, the diff consists of change in preprocessor lines only.
'make headers_check' also succeeds, although no change here should
change the result of that.


The headers that still need to be looked at manually (probably because
there was no guard there in the first place), are:

# add include/asm-x86/mach-visws/setup_arch.h

# add include/asm-x86/posix_types.h
