Subject[PATCH] Doublecheck for CONFIG_MMU
Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we are looking at multiple integrity errors in linux'
configuration system.

The following patch removes a unnecessary conditional. Inside
a block making sure CONFIG_MMU isn't set the option is checked again
and based on that some parts are (not) included. As the outer check
already makes sure CONFIG_MMU isn't set here both checks are
unnecessary so this patch removes them.

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

Christoph Egger

Subject: [PATCH] Remove redundant check for CONFIG_MMU

The checks for CONFIG_MMU at this location is duplicated as all the
code is located inside a #ifndef CONFIG_MMU block. So the first
Conditional Block will always be included while the second will never.
