Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-6
Severity: important

When including asm/system.h (I need a definition of wmb()), I'm
getting this error:

| In file included from /usr/include/asm/bitops.h:8,
|                  from /usr/include/linux/bitops.h:9,
|                  from /usr/include/asm-i486/cpufeature.h:10,
|                  from /usr/include/asm/cpufeature.h:8,
|                  from /usr/include/asm-i486/system.h:6,
|                  from /usr/include/asm/system.h:8,
|                  from barrier.h:4,
|                  from blktrace.c:48:
| /usr/include/asm-i486/bitops.h:244: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘int’

line 244 of bitops.h is:

| static __always_inline int constant_test_bit(int nr, const volatile unsigned long *addr)

so the __always_inline doesn't seem to be defined.  It's supposed to
be defined in linux/compiler.h, but there it's inside an #ifdef
__KERNEL__, making it unaccessible for user-space.

Simply defining __always_inline to inline before including
asm/system.h makes the error go away.
