Re: Can't compile 2.3.48 with Athlon Processor Family

Here's a pair of trivial patches to fix the problem. Basically what is
needed is to remove the declarations of the profile buffer stuff from
include/linux/sched.h and put them in include/asm/string.h. (You can't
simply move the declarations up in sched.h as a lot of the ide*.c files
include string.h but not sched.h). This solved the problem for me, I'm
now able to build 2.3.48 with Athlon as the CPU type (and it works well
so far).

This is the patch to include/asm/string.h:
