Actually i made an error in the commit message, sorry about that. It's=20
GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN that breaks the arch/powerpc build. If this is=20
enabled, the generic header include/linux/msi.h wants an asm/msi.h and=20
we don't have one on powerpc. That's what the patch tries to fix.
Want me to resend with the correct commit message? ... if you're ok with=20
the patch, of course.
