Subject: linux-next: build failure in Linus' tree

Hi Linus,

Today's linux-next initial build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like
this:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_finalize':
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:66: error: unused variable 'err'

Caused by commit 5336377d6225959624146629ce3fc88ee8ecda3d ("modules: Fix
module_bug_list list corruption race").

I added the following patch for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 11:06:44 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: remove unused variable

Since powerpc uses -Werror on arch powerpc, the build was broken like
this:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_finalize':
arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:66: error: unused variable 'err'
