Is there any way to do this without touching this file?
Put the N_TI_WL into a staging header, and bump the number of ldiscs as a separate non staging patch - we should probably simply bump it a bit anyway to leave room for experimental work using a built kernel image. There is no requirement that the number of ldiscs matches up to the last ldisc assigned.
