Hi,
include/asm-mips*/unaligned.h uses different terminology for the same sizes,
sometimes even in the same file, making things a bit confusing:
- double vs. quad
- word vs. long
- halfword vs. word
Which set of terms is preferred, so we can increase consistency?
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
