Hi,

The next-20080218 kernel build fails on the powerpc(s)

drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c: In function ‘pmac_ide_macio_attach’:
drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c:1094: error: conversion to non-scalar type requested
drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c: In function ‘pmac_ide_pci_attach’:
drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c:1232: error: conversion to non-scalar type requested
make[3]: *** [drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/ide/ppc] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/ide] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

I Have tested this patch for build failure only.
