Ugh, arch/xtensa/include/asm/regs.h defines way to generic symbols,
like "MISC" (which causes the above breakage), and even a few
2-letter symbols, which surprisingly don't cause conflicts...

This particular one is already fixed in the xtensa linux-next tree
at git://github.com/czankel/xtensa-linux.git#for_next
(commit 36c74c2a16678e9ee6f08ef89eeebfdd1a96693d).

The short names in that header are for historical reasons.
It is indeed due for a cleanup.
