Re: [uml-devel] User Mode Linux still doesn't build in 2.6.23-final.

the 'fastcall removal' changes to paravirt.c were over-eager: they
removed fastcall annotations from functions that are (or might be)
implemented in assembly. So if someone changes the compiler model,
such as -pg which disables regparm, the kernel breaks in nasty ways.

It would be probably better to just not disable -mregparms. I don't
think the compiler forces this. And e.g. on x86-64 regparms & -pg
work just fine, why should it not on i386?

so this patch adds back fastcall annotations. This serves as
documentation for assembly calling-convention dependencies as
well.

You should rename it then to "asmcall" or something.
