The unfortunate thing is that its min and max as opposed to typed_min and typed_max (with min/max set up to error), since its now a nightmare to maintain compatibility between two allegedly stable releases of the same kernel, as well as with 2.2
Had it been typed_min(a,b,c) then 2.2 could have stayed compatible and the glue would have been simple - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
