The bug was caused by me being a bit too optimistic in applying the shiny-new Power7 support patches on the last day. (nice CPU btw.) > Linus, please apply. BTW, This is _EXACTLY_ why this should have > been in -next for a few days before being merged :-( Not really: for example current upstream is build-broken on x86 due to an integration artifact via the kmemleak tree - despite it having been in linux-next for months. Paulus was building and booting powerpc on a daily basis and i ran cross-builds as well. Such bugs happen, and they are easy enough to fix. What matters arent the 1-2 short-lived bugs that do happen when a new combination of trees is created, but the long-lived combination bugs and conflicts.
