cannot compile linux-2.6-tip tree

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

hi,

I just updated 'linux-2.6-tip' and was not able to link drivers/pnp
I bisected the issue, but not sure what happened:

(git tree git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git, x86_64 arch)

the bisected commit looks innocent:
