A s/__SMP__/CONFIG_SMP/ patch ignores all the subtle places where __SMP__ is defined and CONFIG_SMP would not be. I agree, however, with the need for CONFIG_SMP everywhere. It also would be nice to fix the -DMODVERSIONS and -include "modversions.h"
Are there any good gcc tricks that would make the __SMP__->CONFIG_SMP migration patch easier?
