Hi,
This patch causes compiler errors on arm and arm64 due to pgd_huge
being undefined. I've attached a fixup below, this fixup will require
that #define pgd_huge(pgd) 0 be added back into:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h
For the second patch in this series.

Another avenue would be to do something like:
#ifndef pgd_huge
#define pgd_huge(pgd)	(0)
#endif

Then no changes would be required to arm and arm64 (or other
architectures).

To help with bisectability, could we please have a suitable fix applied
to the two patches in the -mm tree:
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-update-generic-gup-implementation-to-handle-hugepage-directory.patch
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/arch-powerpc-switch-to-generic-rcu-get_user_pages_fast.patch

rather than applied afterwards?

With pgd_huge(x) defined, this patch passes my futex test on arm
(Arndale platform) and arm64(Juno).

Cheers,
