Merge lp://staging/~beehock/ubuntu/natty/lirc/lirc.fix-726182 into lp://staging/ubuntu/natty/lirc

Thanks for the contribution.

The lirc package has a patch system. See the patches in debian/patches.

I converted your change (thanks for that, btw) to be a patch applied in debian/patches. It's strongly preferred to maintain changes here in a series of patches.

Also, could you please send this patch to the upstream lirc project? Thanks!

thanks for the advice, Dustin. I was following the sponsorship process
and will certainly looked into the debian/patches.

will also verify if this needs to go upstream.

I was preparing the patch for upstream and found that current_cpu_data
has been replaced by cpu_data(cpu)
for 2.6.38.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1324779

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
DECLARE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(struct cpuinfo_x86, cpu_info);
#define cpu_data(cpu) per_cpu(cpu_info, cpu)
#else
#define cpu_info boot_cpu_data
#define cpu_data(cpu) boot_cpu_data
#endif

so would it be better to do this instead?

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 38)
#define current_cpu_data boot_cpu_data
#endif

How to handle the case with SMP CPU?
