mmotm broken on arm with ebc495cfcea9 (mm: cleanup *pte_alloc* interfaces)

Hi,

I just tried the master of mmotm and ran into compilation issues on arm:

   CC      arch/arm/mm/mmu.o
arch/arm/mm/mmu.c:737:37: error: macro "pte_alloc" passed 4 arguments, but takes just 3
      void *(*alloc)(unsigned long sz))

It looks like this is caused by ebc495cfcea9 (mm: cleanup *pte_alloc* interfaces)
which added

#define pte_alloc(mm, pmd, address)                     \
         (unlikely(pmd_none(*(pmd))) && __pte_alloc(mm, pmd, address))


and conflicts with arch/arm/mm/mmu.c which is using pte_alloc as a function name.

Is this a known issue? If not, Russell would you take a patch to rename the pte_alloc
functions in arm?

Thanks,
Laura
