The patch causes a build error on 32-bit hash in rtas.c due to this:

This should just be asm/mmu.h

This is true of all occurences, ie, mmu-hash64.h isn't meant to be
directly included (though it causes no breakage in the other cases)

I'm going to commit a fixed version to powerpc-next today, you may want
to update the version you are sending to distros.

Cheers,
Ben.
