These are architecture code related build failures that arch maintainers 
need to fix.  Avoiding pulling the tree allows people to ignore the issue, 
which isn't going to get things fixed.  I provided an example how to 
implement the 64 bit __get_user() without generating warnings, and it is 
now up to maintainers to adapt it for their architecture.
