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

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

mm/migrate.c: In function 'migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page_put':
mm/migrate.c:1666:2: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'update_mmu_cache_pmd'
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:792:20: note: expected 'struct pmd_t *' but argument is of type 'pmd_t'

Caused by commit 7f7f03ce3820 ("mm, numa: Implement migrate-on-fault lazy
NUMA strategy for regular and THP pages") from the tip tree and expose by
commit "x86: convert update_mmu_cache() and update_mmu_cache_pmd() to
functions" from the akpm tree.

I applied the following patch for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2012 19:50:57 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] mm,numa: fix update_mmu_cache_pmd call

Fixes this build error:

mm/migrate.c: In function 'migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page_put':
mm/migrate.c:1666:2: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'update_mmu_cache_pmd'
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:792:20: note: expected 'struct pmd_t *' but argument is of type 'pmd_t'
