[PATCH] Drop an empty byteorder/generic.h from being exported touserspace.

From: Robert P. J. Day
Date: Tue Apr 01 2008 - 21:38:33 EST



Since the entire meaningful contents of generic.h is wrapped by the
__KERNEL__ test, drop it from being passed to userspace, and remove
the now superfluous __KERNEL__ test.

is there some value in allowing an effectively empty header file to
be exported to userspace?
