This isn't building for 32-bit etc:
arch/powerpc/mm/drmem.c: In function 'init_drmem_v1_lmbs':
arch/powerpc/mm/drmem.c:371:14: error: implicit declaration of function 'memory_add_physaddr_to_nid' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
lmb->nid = memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(lmb->base_addr);
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
scripts/Makefile.build:317: recipe for target 'arch/powerpc/mm/drmem.o' failed
See the failed checks here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/969150/
Probably drmem.c should only be compiled for 64-bit NUMA etc.
cheers
