Hmm. I pulled this, but looking at it I realized that
+ depends on !COMPILE_TEST
doesn't make any real sense to me.
All it does is make sure that "make allmodconfig" doesn't actually test that the PAGESPAN code compiles.
It's not like that is a big cost for allmodconfig builds, but it does mean that it gets less coverage.
And it really makes no sense to me. We *don't* want to run with that option enabled normally.
I think what you actually meant was something like
+ depends on EXPERT
which means that it does *not* get enabled in normal user builds.
Hmm?
