I missed one other semantic conflict that can result in build failures on 
certain stripped down x86 32-bit configs, for example 32-bit 
"allnoconfig" where CONFIG_X86_IOPL_IOPERM gets turned off.

Here's a (tested) fix for that:

Please pull the latest x86-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: 0bcd7762727dd8ba9b9b6f828e5a4cbd5da4f725 x86/iopl: Make 'struct tss_struct' constant size again

 Thanks,

	Ingo
