Subject: 2.6.26-rc7: x86 build error

Commit d3942cff620bea073fc4e3c8ed878eb1e84615ce
(x86: use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE on 32-bit)
causes the following compile error:

<--  snip  -->

  CC      arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.o
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c: In function ‘reserve_crashkernel’:
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c:536: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.o] Error 1

<--  snip  -->

CONFIG_KEXEC=y, CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y and the fact that 
reserve_bootmem_node() returns void seems to cause it.

.config attached.
