I'm OK with the Makefile change, but the second part of your patch
that removes the #ifdef CONFIG_CLEANCACHE will just need to be
put in again when frontswap is added (as it will be possible that
CONFIG_FRONTSWAP=y but CONFIG_CLEANCACHE=n).
Is there a rush on this (i.e. is the compiler warning impeding
your work somehow)? As I said, it should all be cleaned up soon
so would prefer not to submit these piecemeal.
Thanks,
Dan
