You've made DIAGNOSTic totally useless! Eh? In the cases where I've used it, I've turned it on for the entire kernel, but I'll admit I haven't used it much. If there is a consensus that DIAGNOSTIC should be an old-style option, I'll be happy to roll it back - making sure it doesn't bitrot due to header file use would introduce some kludges, too. However, there are some uses of DIAGNOSTIC (e.g, in vm_zone.h) that require it to be enabled for corresponding C-files to get support routines. This implies that at least some people use it as a global option. Perhaps the correct thing to do would be to split the option? Eivind, not out to make anything 'useless'.
