That was a compile error too:

arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: `clear_page' undeclared here (not in a 
function)
arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: initializer element is not constant
arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: (near initialization for 
`__ksymtab_clear_page.value')
arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.c:41: error: __ksymtab_clear_page causes a section 
type conflict
make[1]: *** [arch/ia64/kernel/ia64_ksyms.o] Error 1

After reverting the patch, the resulting kernel booted fine for
me. 

By the way, I noticed that the automated OSDL PLM compile
failed too:
http://www.osdl.org/plm-cgi/plm?module=patch_info&patch_id=4361

Their .config was different from mine but it had both the compile
failures I saw, plus some more.
