Hi Rusty,

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c:516: error: conflicting types for 'setup_arch'
include/linux/init.h:153: error: previous declaration of 'setup_arch' was here

I dropped the boot-params tree for today.

This is due to the existing

    extern int _etext, _edata, _end;

in and the newly added

    extern char _end[];

to arch/m68k/kernel/setup.c.

As these are already declared in asm-generic/sections.h (which is used by
asm-m68k/sections.h), I'll switch arch/m68k/kernel/setup.c to using them.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

I will drop the boot-params tree for today.
