Right, what's going on is that I have a commit in my tree which adds an
include to asm/pgtable.h which introduces a #define for get_signal.
This becomes visible to amba-pl08x.c.

However, my build test tree fails *every* time because what I'm building
is Linus' tree, my tree plus arm-soc, and it doesn't include your tree.
This makes my build testing for the next merge window impossible.

So, I need the fix to pl08x.c merged into my tree.
