Hi Andrew,

My boot of next-20120607 in PowerPC produces lots of these warnings:

BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:c000000278508000 idx:0 val:-27
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:c000000278284000 idx:0 val:-27
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:c000000279e13000 idx:0 val:-27
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:c000000278285400 idx:0 val:-27

And so on (with different mm, idx and val numbers). Searching showed me
commit "mm: correctly synchronize rss-counters at exit/exec" which seems
to be there to fix this exact problem?

P.S. that patch also has conflict markers in the commit message ...
