not quite - h8300 and m68k have it as (equivalent) static inline.

No objections, but that kind of stuff might be better done in a different
way: ask Linus to run this

git grep -n -w get_ds | tr ':' ' ' | while read file line junk; do
	case "$file" in
	*include*|tools*)
		;;
	*)
		ed $file <<EOF
${line}s/get_ds()/KERNEL_DS/
w
q
EOF
		;;
	esac
done

just before -rc1, then follow it up with "kill unused get_ds()" patch
right after -rc1.
