You just broke ia64 ;)

As there was no cleaner alternative apparent to me, I did this:

--- a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_main.c~sgi-xp-handle-non-fatal-traps-fix
+++ a/drivers/misc/sgi-xp/xpc_main.c
@@ -53,7 +53,9 @@
 #include <linux/kthread.h>
 #include "xpc.h"
 
+#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
 #include <asm/traps.h>
+#endif
 
 /* define two XPC debug device structures to be used with dev_dbg() et al */
 

But I worry that the change apparently hasn't been runtime tested on
ia64?
