           Summary: include/asm-i386 removed but not documented
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
     KernelVersion: 2.6.24+
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: osgnuru at gmail.com


Latest working kernel version:2.6.25.8
Earliest failing kernel version:2.6.24
Distribution:N/A
Hardware Environment:i386
Software Environment:N/A
Problem Description:Between kernel 2.6.23.17 and 2.6.24 the include/asm-i386
directory was removed and there is no mention of it in the change log or the
documentation. A new directory include/asm-x86 was added, one might assume this
to be the replacement but still this also is not documented. There are still
many source files that include headers from asm-i386 and also third party
software that will try to include /usr/include/asm-i386 will now be broken for
anyone trying to compile a kernel on a 32 bit CPU.

Documentation should include recommendations for changes needed to compile on a
Linux system that has this alteration.
