Upstream commit e66eed651fd18a961f11cda62f3b5286c8cc4f9f

    "list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators"

removed <linux/prefetch.h> from <linux/list.h> very early in the
v3.0 dev cycle (v2.6.39-2-ge66eed6), thereby causing build failures
when it exposed the implicit prefetch users in parisc.
I already have this in my internal patch queue:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=132825467010662
Is this in a different queue than what is in linux next?
Yes, sorry ... I hadn't got around to building the parisc tree for the
current version.  I've done that now.
It would be nice to see such build fixes get into linux-next
ASAP, so folks doing multi-arch coverage builds on their work
can know if they've introduced a regression.  At the moment,
the parisc builds in linux-next have been worthless for over
six months, and I'm sure I'm not the 1st one to waste time
"re-solving" old bugs like this.
So if you recheck with the next build of linux-next, they should all be
there (modulo the cross compile patch which is still under discussion).
