Thanks for your patch.

The 1st part of the build-error is gone, but 2nd part still remains:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
mm/built-in.o: In function `calc_period_shift.part.10':
page-writeback.c:(.text+0x6458): undefined reference to `____ilog2_NaN'
make[4]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

I have attached some disasm-ed files.

Unfortunately, I don't see any new commits in your GIT tree.
