MACH_TYPE_NOKIA_N800 used by Nokia isn't available by 
Russels (ARM kernel maintainer) machine registry [1]. It's 
currently just a 'hack' Nokia (?) made locally to 
arch/arm/tools/mach-types. Because of this 'hack' status it 
isn't checked in.

So you have to manually apply a patch:

(second patch of this mail, 02-mach-types-hack.patch)

Btw.: Just noticed that Kai Svahn registered mach number 
1271 for N800 in machine registry.
