The compiler error pointed by Jin will be introduced by Huang's patch:
 3.x86: MCE: Move debugfs mce dir creating to mce.c
   URL: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124900459100790&w=2
and it seems that none of tip branches have Huang's debug patch set yet.
At least I could not find them in today's tip/x86/mce and tip/master.
(Or I might have trouble on syncing of git.)

I think that the previous change to unify initcalls is worth to be in
an incremental patch, but this trivial change to add ifdef could be
done by updating original patch if you'd like to do so.


Thanks,
H.Seto
