Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree

Hi ,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (sh
edosk7705_defconfig and lots of other sh configs) failed like this:

mm/pgtable-generic.c: In function 'pmdp_clear_flush_young':
mm/pgtable-generic.c:76: error: call to '__build_bug_failed' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG failed

This is the

	VM_BUG_ON(address & ~HPAGE_PMD_MASK);

in pmdp_clear_flush_young().

Exposed by commit 835cea45a4a0 ("hugetlb: replace BUG() with BUILD_BUG()
for dummy definitions") from the akpm tree but I don't know the root
cause.

This may have a fix somewhere (if it is sh specific) but the current sh
tree in linux-next
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6.git) does
not exist.
