Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c

between commit:

2ec13df16704 ("powerpc/modules: Load modules closer to kernel text")

from the powerpc tree and commit:

4930ba789f8d ("powerpc/64s/radix: enable huge vmalloc mappings")

from the akpm-current tree.

I fixed it up (I think - see below) and can carry the fix as
necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any
non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer
when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider
cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any
particularly complex conflicts.

The #endif should be here.

Unfortunately, it also needs this:

Before the #endif is too far.
