Ok, first you need to mark the order and gfp arguments as unsigned
for mm/page_alloc.c:prep_zero_page() so that it matches the prototype
you added to include/linux/gfp.h else the compiler warns a lot.

Next, in the same function in mm/page_alloc.c, "PageHighmem()" is typo'd, it should be
"PageHighMem()".

The clear_cold() call on the next line needs a semicolon.

Erm... were any of your test builds done with the new CONFIG_CLEAR_COLD
option enabled? :-)

Next, replace your arch/sparc64/lib/clear_page.S diff with this one and
things would be working and we'll be using the proper temporal vs.
non-temporal stores on that platform.
