Hi all,

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

Caused by commit

  f670269a42bf ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, next try")

interacting with commit

  a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")

from Linus' tree (v5.7-rc6) - the automatic merge did not go well.

I have added this patch for today (it removes the older version).
