This is needed to match the output of the C compiler.

Why are you submitting patches that define
flush_page_to_ram() to anything?

That interface is deleted in 2.5.x, no platform
should define it and nothing in the kernel invokes
it.

If you need something like that internally, use a
name such as v850_flush_page_to_ram().

   I think in this case it's because I try to keep the v850 arch files
   identical on 2.4.x and 2.5.x (as much as is possible), which sometimes
   results in unused #defines on one or the other.

Please don't do that, 2.4.x and 2.5.x are different kernel.
There will be differences, just accept them.

Some of us use grepping tools to see if arch's depend upon
deleted interfaces still existing, and once we start adding
exceptions such as yours the tools become less and less useful.

Therefore, please delete the flush_page_to_ram define on v850.
Thank you.

I will happily do so when requested.

OK.
