Re: [PATCH] 2.4.22pre10: {,un}likely_p() macros for pointers

[Chip Salzenberg]

According to Willy Tarreau:
>   likely => __builtin_expect(!(x), 0)
> unlikely => __builtin_expect((x), 0)

Well, I'm not sure about the polarity, but that unlikely() macro isn't
good -- it the same old problem that first prompted my message, namely
that it's nonportable when (x) has a pointer type.
