This patch breaks building certain ARM configs (noMMU). A followup
patch is needed to fix this. 

I suggest not to queue this patch for any stable tree for the time
being.  I have already tagged the proposed followup patch to
cherry-pick this patch so that they can be queued together once the
followup is upstream.

Please let me know if you want to handle this differently (squash the
patches together and sent a dedicated patch to stable). 

Btw. the patch was tagged for 3.2+, it does not compile on 3.0.x and I
will provide a separate backport for 3.0.x anyway.
