FWIW, this did fix the following build failure on m68k in linus/master
(commit 2868b2513aa732a9 ("Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-4.12-rc1' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest"):
In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:148,
from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:5,
from include/linux/vmalloc.h:10,
from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:10:
arch/m68k/include/asm/motorola_pgtable.h: In function ‘pgd_offset’:
arch/m68k/include/asm/motorola_pgtable.h:198: error: dereferencing
pointer to incomplete type
scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target
'arch/m68k/kernel/module.o' failed
but given the complaints from 0day on this and future versions, I think it's
better not to provide a Tested-by yet.
