Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

mm/page_alloc.c: In function 'dump_vma':
mm/page_alloc.c:6742:46: error: request for member 'pgprot' in something not a structure or union
   vma->vm_prev, vma->vm_mm, vma->vm_page_prot.pgprot,
                                              ^

Caused by commit d1305f0fa17f ("mm: introduce dump_vma").  pgprot_t on
PPC is normally (i.e. unless STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is explicitly
defined) just an "unsigned long" (see
arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h).  This is true for several other
architectures as well.

I added this fix patch for today:
