[patch] x86, pat: freeing invalid memtype messages
Commit 20413f27163 "x86, pat: Fix memory leak in free_memtype" added an error message in free_memtype() if rbt_memtype_erase() returns NULL.

[PATCH] Fix CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE issue in .config
Linux has an recent option to define CROSS_COMPILE in menuconfig. Typically, one of the options when building for another target is ('arm' is just an example): # make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-cc O=../build If I omit CROSS_COMPILE and use the new way in .config: CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE="arm-cc" I got: ... 17 Jun 2010 10:03
