Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c: In function 'rtas_flash_release':
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:218:16: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'count'
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c: In function 'rtas_excl_open':
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:343:21: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'count'
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:348:16: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'count'
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c: In function 'rtas_excl_release':
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:358:16: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'count'
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c: In function 'validate_flash_release':
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas_flash.c:541:16: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'count'

Caused by commit aef714db6205 ("core kernel: add refcount type and
refcount misuse debugging").

This would also break in drivers/nubus/proc.c

I have reverted that commit for today.
