Wambui,

Please figure out what went wrong here.  Are there two sets of typedefs
that should have been updated?

Others,

Would it be reasonable to put the information about how the driver should
be compied in the TODO file?  git grep cavium_octeon_defconfig in the
octeon directory turns up nothing.

thanks,
julia
