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:

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