[PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h>
In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
<asm/param.h> was changed to include <linux/config.h> for the
configurable timer frequency.
However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
indirectly from <sys/param.h>), so your commit pollutes the userland
namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros. This greatly confuses
software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.
After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch
