Seems to be missing an #include of soc/arc/aux.h, but I can't
tell when this first broke without bisecting.

Al did a series to fix various build problems on alpha, see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git/log/?h=work.alpha
Not sure if he still has to send them to Matt, or if Matt
just needs to apply them.

I also have some alpha patches that I should send upstream.
