Can I get a Signed-off-by: on that?

It's not the right fix - the base of the problem is in swap.h, which
has this comment:
/* only sparc can not include linux/pagemap.h in this file
* so leave page_cache_release and release_pages undeclared... */

I poked around a bit for a sparc cross-toolchain, didn't find one, so
I couldn't see what exactly the problem was.

So, I'll take this fix.
