Header file 'ordering' issue?

Vmware has some difficulties with the latest few kernel packages that appear to be related to some changes in the kernel build headers. Described here: http://www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=375839#375839 Here's the gist: asm-i386/bitops.h includes asm-i386/alternatives.h, and asm-i386/alternatives.h uses type 'u8' although it does not include asm-i386/types.h. Right fix is either replace all 'u8' with 'unsigned char' in asm/alternatives.h, or include asm/types.h in alternatives.h. Appears that bitops.h/alternatives.h now assumes types.h was previously included. Is this a known feature/change? tom -- Tom London
