Can you send me the original patch?  I'd like to fix the problem
upstream first....  I'm curious why I didn't notice this, since I run
tests (and thus build) 32-bit x86 kernels, and Eric Whitney is doing
test builds and runs regression tests an ARM Pandaboard.  Can you give
me details about your compilation environment and how this causing
problems for you?

Thanks,
