Subject: [PATCH]2.6.25-rc2-mm1 - Build Failure at security/keys/compat.c on powerpc

Hi Andrew,

The 2.6.25-rc2-mm1 kernel build fails on the powerpc(s) 

  CC      security/keys/compat.o
security/keys/compat.c: In function ‘compat_sys_keyctl’:
security/keys/compat.c:83: error: implicit declaration of function ‘keyctl_get_security’
make[2]: *** [security/keys/compat.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [security/keys] Error 2
make: *** [security] Error 2

The keys-add-keyctl-function-to-get-a-security-label.patch is causing
this build failure.

I have tested the patch for the build failure only
