Subject: linux-next: origin tree build failure

Hi all,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc64, gcc 4.1.3) failed like this:

drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:11: error: logo_linux_mono_data causes a section type conflict

Caused by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb ("fbdev: move
logo externs to header file") but probably really a compiler bug as gcc
4.3 and 4.4 do not get this error.  I have reverted that commit for
today, but we really need some workaround as gcc 4.1.3 is not uncommon.
