If compiled with W=1, the following warning is seen in powerpc builds.

This is caused by a function returning 'const int', which doesn't
make sense to gcc. Drop 'const' to fix the problem.
This breaks the 64-bit build:
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:764:2: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]
arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c:764:2: error: (near initialization for 'powerpc_topology[0].sd_flags') [-Werror]
It appears that the generic definition in sched.h has this function
defined as const int, so that needs to be fixed too along with all
instances in all archs.

Won't the patch above break powerpc then ? IE. The functions signature
won't match anymore ... /me thinks you probably need to fix them all
at once.
