This patch also conflicts with the patchset removing dma64_addr_t (you
really don't need dma64_addr_t):

http://marc.info/?l=linux-arch&m=128685377524976&w=2

Both in -mm and I think Andrew will merge both
CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT and dma64_addr_t patchset.

So how about dropping this patch and folding the following into your
18th patch. Then Andrew will not get the conflict and -rc1 works fine
for you.
