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

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (sparc64 defconfig)
failed like this:

arch/sparc/kernel/time_64.c: In function 'timer_interrupt':
arch/sparc/kernel/time_64.c:735:28: error: lvalue required as increment operand
arch/sparc/kernel/traps_64.c: In function '__cheetah_flush_icache':

arch/sparc/kernel/ptrace_64.c:113:20: error: 'pscr_ret__.icache_line_size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]

Caused by commit 5aa661aa13d4 ("sparc: replace __get_cpu_var uses").

I have reverted that commit for today.

I suspect that this whole series may need more review and work.
