Why?

Your commit message should at least say why you are making this change.
(It also should be wrapped to a sensible line length).

The "case x ... y:" style is used in many places all over the kernel. As
are other gcc extensions.

Is this a change in kernel coding style guidelines? Or are you trying to
make it a compile with a different compiler to normal?

Although I'm not a fan of non-standard C extensions, in my opinion the
case ... is more readable than the chain of if statements.
