Hi Lichao,

Generally including headers is harmless - it's quite common to include
headers which might or might not be used, and if nothing from the header
is used then its inclusion simply makes no difference. The compiler will
see the header contents & discard them, no big deal.

So can you describe why you want to add the #ifdef here? What's
problematic about including asm/i8259.h when CONFIG_I8259=n?

Thanks,
