Description Oliver Neukum 2023-09-04 14:20:00 UTC 
The SP6 kernel needs to keep supporting the nopvspin, which was present in SLE15GA, but was dropped in updted upstream kernels and hence readded in the SLE kernels, which includes SP6. In ALP, however, it is not needed.

I asked in the ALP meeting and the answer was that old stuff should be removed, even if the kernels diverge

Just put #ifdef CONFIG_SUSE_PRODUCT_SLE around the code you added in the patch instead. Then we can avoid the code divergence.
