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

Hi all,

After merging the infiniband tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mr.c: In function 'mlx4_buddy_init':
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mr.c:134:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'vzalloc' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mr.c:134:19: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default]
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx4/mr.c:148:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'vfree' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Caused by commit 2354c0904331 ("mlx4_core: Allow large mlx4_buddy
bitmaps") which added the vmalloc call (which was changed to vzalloc by
commit 09e22f30018b ("mlx4_core: Clean up buddy bitmap allocation").  The
include of vmalloc.h is missing.  See Rule 1 in
Documentation/SubmitChecklist.

I have used the infiniband tree from next-20120814 for today.
