This series still doesn't build on !CONFIG_RTAS configs: http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/629/ This solution is to move early_init_dt_scan_phyp_dump() into arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/phyp_dump.c and provide a dummy implementation in asm-powerpc/phyp_dump.c for the !CONFIG_PHYP_DUMP case. cheers -- Michael Ellerman OzLabs, IBM Australia Development Lab wwweb: http://michael.ellerman.id.au phone: +61 2 6212 1183 (tie line 70 21183) We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - S.M.A.R.T Person
