Correct. I tested it with sparc64 cross compiler using ARCH=sparc32 in
addition to x86_32/64 with THP on and off. It should solve the
problem.

James' fix for arm still needed in addition to it, I'm appending it.

Thanks and sorry again for the arch build trouble.

Subject: [PATCH] parisc: fix compile breakage caused by inlining maybe_mkwrite

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

on Parisc, we have an include of linux/mm.h inside our asm/pgtable.h, so
this patch 

commit 14fd403f2146f740942d78af4e0ee59396ad8eab
Author: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Jan 13 15:46:37 2011 -0800

    thp: export maybe_mkwrite

Causes us an unsatisfiable use of pte_mkwrite in linux/mm.h

The fix is obviously not to include linux/mm.h in our pgtable.h, which
unbreaks the build.
