Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the mm-unstable tree

Hi all,

After merging the mm-unstable tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) produced this warning:

And 5.5MB more :-(

Introduced by commit

  598ad57d4b46 ("mm: constify highmem related functions for improved const-correctness")

I have reverted that commit for today.
