Hi all,

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

ld: cannot find MEM_KEEP: No such file or directory

Caused by commit

  78e70fd784bd ("init/modpost: conditionally check section mismatch to __meminit*")

from the mm-nonmm-unstable branch of the mm tree.

grep is your friend :-)

I have applied the following fix patch for today.
