Well, it doesn't really come very close to being compilable:

arch/x86/platform/uv/tlb_uv.c: In function 'bau_process_message':
arch/x86/platform/uv/tlb_uv.c:283: error: 'struct bau_pq_entry' has no member named 'end'
arch/x86/platform/uv/tlb_uv.c:284: error: 'struct bau_pq_entry' has no member named 'start'

Cliff, could you please help out here?
