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

Hi Andrew,

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

In file included from include/linux/mm.h:394:0,
                 from mm/huge_memory.c:10:
include/linux/huge_mm.h:53:22: error: initializer element is not constant
 #define HPAGE_PMD_NR (1<<HPAGE_PMD_ORDER)
                      ^
mm/huge_memory.c:104:62: note: in expansion of macro 'HPAGE_PMD_NR'
 static unsigned int khugepaged_max_ptes_swap __read_mostly = HPAGE_PMD_NR/8;
                                                              ^

Caused by commit

  6d34b9749be2 ("mm: make optimistic check for swapin readahead")

interacting with commit

  dd1842a2a448 ("powerpc/mm: Make page table size a variable")

from the powerpc tree.

I applied this fix patch for today (hopefully this is still initialised
early enough):
