Re: [PATCH v2 01/19] powerpc/powermac: Mark variable x as unused

From: LEROY Christophe

Mathieu Malaterre <malat@xxxxxxxxxx> a ÃcritÂ:

Since the value of x is never intended to be read, declare it with gcc
attribute as unused. Fix warning treated as error with W=1:

arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/bootx_init.c:471:21: error: variable âxâ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]

Stylewise, there should be an empty line after your declaration.

But I believe you should remove that ugly loop and replace it by a call to fault_in_pages_readable()
