2.6.12-rc2-mm1 fails to build for me with the following error:
arch/i386/lib/mmx.c:374: error: conflicting types for `mmx_clear_page'
include/asm/mmx.h:11: error: previous declaration of `mmx_clear_page'
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/lib/mmx.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/i386/lib] Error 2
I hope this is useful-- I apologize if it is not. (I browsed the
archives, and no one seems to be complaining of the same thing so far.)
I'm not subscribed to the list, but I'll gladly provide more
information if you CC me on a response.

I don't know the proper fix, but reversing this patch:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12-rc2/2.6.12-rc2-mm1/broken-out/add-a-clear_pages-function-to-clear-pages-of-higher.patch
worked for me.
