Uses __va_copy instead of va_copy since some old versions of gcc
(2.95.4
for instance) don't accept va_copy.
Are there many kernels still being built with 2.95.4? It's quite
antiquated, as far as
i'm aware.
The use of '__' violates compiler namespace. If 2.95.4 were not easily
replaced by
a much better version (3.3.x? 3.4.x) I would see a reason to disregard
this, but a fix
merely to satisfy an obsolete compiler?
In my humblest of opinions you are fixing a bug that is better solved
by downloading
a more recent version of gcc.
