Hi all,

After merging the dax-misc tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this:

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `__ksymtab_clear_pages':
(___ksymtab+clear_pages+0x0): undefined reference to `clear_pages'

Caused by commit

9445aa1a3062 ("ppc: move exports to definitions")

I applied the following fix patch:
