Actually no. I noticed that after I sent the patch. Here's v2:


scripts: Have make TAGS not include structure members

It is really annoying when I use emacs TAGS to search for something
like "dev_name" and have to go through 12 iterations before I find the
function "dev_name". I really do not care about structures that include
"dev_name" as one of its fields, and I'm sure pretty much all other
developers do not care either.

There's a "remove_structs" variable used by the scripts/tags.sh, which
I'm guessing is suppose to remove these structures from the TAGS file,
but it must do a poor job at it, as I'm always hitting structures when
I want the actual declaration.

Luckily, the etags and ctags program comes with an option
"--no-members", which does exactly what I want, and I'm sure all other
kernel developers want too.
