Correct - but we can rewrite it like this:

diff --git a/include/linux/acct.h b/include/linux/acct.h
index 882dc72..bcc6d2f 100644
--- a/include/linux/acct.h
+++ b/include/linux/acct.h
@@ -59,8 +59,12 @@ struct acct
comp_t ac_majflt; /* Major Pagefaults */
comp_t ac_swaps; /* Number of Swaps */
/* m68k had no padding here. */
-#if !defined(CONFIG_M68K) || !defined(__KERNEL__)
+#ifndef __KERNEL__
__u16 ac_ahz; /* AHZ */
+#else
+ #ifndef CONFIG_M68K
+ __u16 ac_ahz; /* AHZ */
+ #endif
#endif
__u32 ac_exitcode; /* Exitcode */
char ac_comm[ACCT_COMM + 1]; /* Command Name */
This is at least for me also easier to parse.
So we remove a (bogus) warning and make the code easier to read.

Sam
