Hi All,

The latest mainline kernel branch fails to build for alpha allmodconfig
with the error:

git bisect pointed to b67fbebd4cf9 ("mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas").
And, reverting that commit has fixed the build failure.

I will be happy to test any patch or provide any extra log if needed.
