When b43legacy is compiled on the arm platform, the following errors are seen:

The cause is a missing include of <linux/cache.h>, which is present for
i386 and x86_64 architectures, but not for arm.

John,

Once I get the ability to cross-compile ARM architecture, I will check to
see if the equivalent patch is needed for b43.
