Hi Linus,
In Linus' tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed

I believe the error to be fixed with this patch.
Could you try it?
Thanks,

and this patch never
appeared in linux-next before being merged. :-(
It was first sighted October 3.
I have reverted that commit for today.
If this patch truly was authored yesterday (according the Author Date in
git), why was it merged yesterday while still under discussion? And the
latest update to it still has this build problem ... did anyone even try
to build this for powerpc (since that architecture was obviously
affected)?
Apparently not - the ppc bit was a best-effort fixup for a patch which
addresses an x86 problem.
