[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#523727: fixed for me

[Avery Fay]

I fixed this by doing:

+++ conftest.h	2009-04-13 19:25:56.000000000 -0400

+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,28)
  #define NV_SMP_CALL_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT_COUNT 3
 #else
  #define NV_SMP_CALL_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT_COUNT 4

Based on the title of this bug it should probably test for 2.6.27, but I
can't confirm that locally.

I'd point out though that the nvidia conftest.sh way of testing for
functions is way safer. This can easily break if someone is running a
kernel that includes a newer patch. It also seems like a maintenance
nightmare (but of course I'm not the one maintaining it).
