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
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

include/linux/kexec.h: In function 'boot_phys_to_virt':
include/linux/kexec.h:358:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'phys_to_virt' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Caused by commit

  4382eb9055be ("kexec: allow architectures to override boot mapping")

Architecture seem to define phys_to_virt() in either asm/io.h or
asm/memory.h or asm/virtconvert.h or asm/page*.h ... or asm-generic/io.h.
:-(

I have reverted that commit for today (and commit c9aaeae038fa ("ARM:
kexec: fix kexec for Keystone 2")).
