Subject: fs cache patch breaks sparc build in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2

The 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 patch:
    fs-cache-make-kafs-use-fs-cache.patch

seems to break the arch=sparc defconfig build, failing with:

  CC [M]  fs/afs/file.o
fs/afs/file.c: In function `afs_file_releasepage':
fs/afs/file.c:332: error: structure has no member named `cache'
make[2]: *** [fs/afs/file.o] Error 1

Looking at line numbers 326-337 in the file fs/afs/file.c, I see:

326             /* deny */
327             if (PageFsMisc(page)) {
328                     _leave(" = F");
329                     return 0;
330             }
331
332             fscache_uncache_page(AFS_FS_I(page->mapping->host)->cache, page);
333
334             /* indicate that the page can be released */
335             _leave(" = T");
336             return 1;
337     }

So this does seem to be the line 332 the compile is complaining about.
