linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

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

ERROR: modpost: ".probe_user_write" [arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm-hv.ko] undefined!

Caused by patch

  "maccess: unexport probe_kernel_write and probe_user_write"

"These two functions are not used by any modular code." turns out to
not be true :-(

I have added this patch:
