Subject: Re: [PATCH] x86,edac: fix for compiler error in traps.c


Andrew, I guess this change is not needed. Ingo was correct, there must 
have been something wrong with my build environment. Not sure what 
happened, but I had this failure right after updating my git repo. I did 
not do a make clean, so my build environment was not pristine. After doing 
a make clean, I no longer have this error.

Sorry for the noise.
