I applied the patch which was in the patch system, and Olof's builder
reported failures:

        arm.allnoconfig:
:(.init.text+0x7a0): undefined reference to `early_fixmap_init'

        arm.efm32_defconfig:
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:958: undefined reference to `early_fixmap_init'

        arm.lpc18xx_defconfig:
arch/arm/include/asm/fixmap.h:25:29: error: 'L_PTE_YOUNG' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/arm/include/asm/fixmap.h:25:43: error: 'L_PTE_PRESENT' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/arm/include/asm/fixmap.h:25:59: error: 'L_PTE_XN' undeclared (first use in this function)

arch/arm/include/asm/fixmap.h:30:69: error: 'L_PTE_SHARED' undeclared (first use in this function)

So I'm going to drop it from my tree.  Please resubmit a fixed version,
thanks.
