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

Hi Andrew,

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

arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/idle.c:88:1: error: macro "__define_initcall" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 2
arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/idle.c:88:1: error: data definition has no type or storage class [-Werror]
arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/idle.c:88:1: error: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '__define_initcall' [-Werror=implicit-int]
arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/idle.c:88:1: error: '__machine_initcall_pasemi_pasemi_idle_init' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]

Caused by commit e509970f45d1 ("include/linux/init.h: use the stringify
operator for the __define_initcall macro").

Please use grep, it is your friend.

I have reverted that commit for today (and the following commit
("init-use-the-stringify-operator-for-the-__define_initcall-macro-checkpatch-fixes")
that depends on it.
