Hi Rusty,

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

Caused by commit 37549e94c77a ("sysfs: disallow world-writable files")
interacting with commit c7e64b9ce04a ("powerpc/powernv Platform dump
interface") from v3.15-rc1.  I guess this patch needs updating ...

I have used the modules tree form next-20140725 for today.
