To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  

I've taken up the job of cleaning these attributes all over the kernel.
Currently my patches for cleanup of all files under /kernel and /block
are already done and in the linux-next tree.

In the following patch I've replaced all aforementioned instances under
the /mm directory in the kernel source.

  mm: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))

the right macro in the memory management (/mm) subsystem.

Please try to insert new includes in alphabetical order, to avoid
merge conflicts.
It's no always easy, as lots of include lists are not sorted at all.

Woops, this won't compile?

It may be overdoing things a bit to explicitly include compiler.h. 
It's hard to conceive of any .c file which doesn't already include it.
