Thanks for the report, sorry for the typos, I'll fix up my patch.

Yeah, that would be

Hi Greg, do you even build with your patches applied?

For the power architecture, no, I do not.  I used to, but my cross-build
box died and I haven't taken the time to set it all up again.  For i386
and x86-64 I do build everything, and as that's 99% of the users, it's
usually fine :)

I did start to try to get a s390 cross-build working, but ran out of
time a week or so ago...

Here's a patch, compile tested to fix the compilation problem

Hopefully Greg will fix his original patch before it reaches Linus.

I will do that.

thanks,
