Cleanup cdefs.h


From: Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai <asmodai@xxxxxx>
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 13:24:49 +0200

We added these macros 10 months ago but aren't using them.

Will we use them in the forseeable future?  Otherwise I'd advocate on
removing them and just adding them back in whenever we start to use them for
real.

Yes, I am on a dead code removal spree in general.

- * Handy GCC based macros:

- * 	__cachealign:
- * 	
- * 	The __cachealign macro can be used for cache line aligning structures
- * 	of small to medium size.  It aligns the particular structure or
- * 	storage type to a system default cache line alignment, thus giving us
- * 	a much more better cache utilization by making the hardware work at

- *
- * 	__usereg:
- * 	
- * 	The __usereg macro can/should be used when a function contains
- * 	arguments not more than 3.  It can be very useful to us due to the
- * 	message-passing nature of the kernel.
- *
- * !!NOTE - USAGE INFORMATION!!
- *
- * The __cachealign macro should not be used for data structures that are
- * as big struct proc, struct vnode, struct thread, and other structs which
- * are as big as them; simply because it will be useless in that case.
- *
- * The __usereg macro should be used whenever possible, i.e., when a function
- * does not exceed more than 3 arguments, and should not be used for vararg
- * type functions.
- *
- * In other words, AVOID MISUSE OF THESE MACROS. :-)
