There is a Kconfig problem for ppc32 in the latest -mm kernel. It
seems that somehow the Kconfig logic for selecting memory models
under ARCH=powerpc doesn't quite get it right for standard
flatmem ppc32 systems. When I look at the memory model
selection, I only see sparsemem, whereas on a normal -rc2 kernel,
I can see both flatmem and sparsemem. This somehow triggers a
#error where the number of reserved bits is less than the number
necessary for the sparsemem layout (because we're on a 32-bit arch
without the address space for sparsemem?).
I suspect we have neglected to add back the default for FLATMEM on
32 bit when we allowed FLATMEM to be disabled for 64 bit. Will go
and look at it. Thanks for the report.
When you get it figured out, could you CC the patch to me? I'd like
to do some testing -mm1 and this is a bit of a showstopper :-D. Thanks!
