The list of platforms which are still broken (today) by part 2 of this
series are:

arch/arm/mach-davinci/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/mach-gemini/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/mach-nomadik/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/include/mach/system-reset.h
arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/mach-vt8500/include/mach/system.h
arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/system-reset.h
arch/arm/plat-tcc/include/mach/system.h

which require assistance to get these into shape.

As I've already implied, I'm quite prepared to break these platforms at
the next merge window for the greater good if there's no sign of
maintainers willing to help sort them out - which will then ultimately
result in them being deleted from mainline.
