I see the following build error in -next: kernel/dma/direct.o: In function `dma_direct_alloc_pages': direct.c:(.text+0x4d8): undefined reference to `arch_dma_prep_coherent' Example: m68k:allnoconfig. Bisect log is ambiguous and points to the merge of m68k/for-next into -next. Yet, I think the problem is with commit 69878ef47562 ("m68k: Implement arch_dma_prep_coherent()") which is supposed to introduce the function. The problem is likely that arch_dma_prep_coherent() is only declared if CONFIG_MMU is enabled, but it is called from code outside CONFIG_MMU.
