Compilation error while compiling latest kernel (commit a3d3203e4b) on Alpha:

CC init/do_mounts.o

include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h:50: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘kmemcheck_mark_initialized’
make[1]: *** [init/do_mounts.o] Error 1

I note that for_each_sg is defined in include/linux/scatterlist.h, which arch/alpha/include/asm/dma-mapping.h attempts to load, however include/linux/scatterlist.h was the one that included (indirectly) arch/alpha/include/asm/dma-mapping.h. There is therefore a complete loop of includes from include/linux/scatterlist.h back to itself.

Cheers
Michael.
