[uClinux-dev] NIOS2: is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD relevant here?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  and here's where my newbieness is going to show -- is the config
option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD relevant for nios2?

  i ask since, at the moment, trying to build a kernel generates:
...
  CC      arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.o
arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.c: In function `setup_arch':
arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.c:324: error: implicit declaration of function `paging_init'
make[2]: *** [arch/nios2nommu/kernel/setup.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/nios2nommu/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/rpjday/nios2/uclinux/uClinux-dist-cvs/linux-2.6.x'
make: *** [linux] Error 1
$

  fair enough -- the paging_init() routine is defined in
include/asm/pgtable.h.  but the source file above includes that header
file only conditionally, as follows:

+#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
+#include <asm/pgtable.h>
+#endif

and (you guessed it) the initial, default .config file for nios2
contains:

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set

  so what's the proper solution?  just remove the #ifdef and #endif
from around that header file include?  that seems like the obvious
solution, but i'd like some corroboration on that.
