Hi Paul, Ben,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc44x_config) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c: In function 'kvm_arch_vcpu_put':
arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c:333: error: implicit declaration of function '_tlbil_all'

Probably caused by commit 2a4aca1144394653269720ffbb5a325a77abd5fa
("powerpc/mm: Split low level tlb invalidate for nohash processors").
Reverting just that commit was too difficult, so I have reverted the
powerpc tree for today.
You can't revert that without reverting my whole series.
I know that ... I tried.
Adding a #include ../mm/mmu_decl.h to the kvm code should fix it for
now.

I need to talk to hollis about the right way to do that stuff in
the long run but it might be it... those _tlbil things are low level
stuff that aren't supposed to be used by the outside world which is
why I moved the declarations there, but KVM is also low level :-)
So, why is this series in powerpc/next at all if some of the modified
files haven't even been compiled?  A simple ppc44x_defconfig build of the
powerpc/next tree fails - which I would have thought would be part of the
testing since KVM is only implemented for 44x on powerpc.

(Sorry, I am annoyed - it was late when I finally found this build
failure on top of everything else.)
