Actually this is caused by the splitting out of the rcu stuff from list.h
that is in linux-next, sorry.

Your patch looks good to me (reproduced below for new cc's).

Ingo, this should probably go into the rcu tree.

The next-20080521 kernel build fails, on x86_64 machine

make[2]: *** [net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/netfilter] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2

This build error is because of the missing include file.I have tested
the patch for the build failure only.
