I merged the below and will await the next explosion.


From: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

check_signature() needs readb() but with some setups (s390, m68k allmodconfig)
there is no implementation of readb.  This causes build errors with
-Werror-implicit-function-declaration.

So make check_signature.o dependent upon ISA||PCI.
