linux-next: upstream tree build failure

linux-next: upstream tree build failure

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

[I am now using gcc version 4.4.0 ...]

Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash_low.S:206:6: error: #elif with no expression

Previous gcc versions didn't notice this because one of the preceding
#ifs always evaluated to true.  I have applied the following patch for today.

Your changelog got truncated in the first sentence.  No big deal.

I have a gcc 4.4.0 system as well.  I'll try a bunch of various builds to see
if it catches anything else.  This fix looks good to me in the meantime.

applied to merge.  Picking this up as I'm touching tlb_nohash_low.S w/ 
another "fix".
