Oh, I see; I thought you were referring to the other bit of quoted
patch.  Yes, this should be guarded by #ifdef TILE_CONFIG - thanks!

The arch code is all at

http://www.tilera.com/scm/linux-2.6.34-arch-tile.tar.bz2

I have been reluctant to send it to LKML as an email patch, since it's
270 files, 87 KLoC, about 2.5 MB.  I could break it down into multiple
patches (arch/tile/kernel/, arch/tile/mm, arch/tile/lib, etc.).

I solicit opinions from the community as to what is the best approach :-)

Meanwhile I'll resend the original platform-independent changes (the
MAINTAINER stanza, one line in the PIC Makefile, and the quirk change)
as updated git-am patches.
