Linus, please pull from the for-linus branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394-2.6.git for-linus
to receive the following update for the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) subsystem.
It's straightforward and runtime tested.

firewire: ohci: fix compilation on arches without PAGE_KERNEL_RO
PAGE_KERNEL_RO is not available on all architectures, so its use
in the new AR code broke compilation on sparc64.
Because the read-only mapping was just a debugging aid, just use
PAGE_KERNEL instead.
