Hi Dan,

Since next-20090623, the linux-next build (i386 allmodconfig) has failed
like this:

crypto/async_tx/async_xor.c: In function âasync_xor_initâ:
crypto/async_tx/async_xor.c:310: error: size of array âtype nameâ is negative

The failing line is this:

BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(dma_addr_t) > sizeof(struct page *));

in async_xor_init() introduced by commit
0036731c88fdb5bf4f04a796a30b5e445fc57f54 ("async_tx: kill tx_set_src and
tx_set_dest methods") in Feb, 2008.

Bisecting in the next-20090623 tree pointed to commit
3c30a9ca1fb95214e60e3bf43957971df6668033 ("dmaengine: move HIGHMEM64G
restriction to ASYNC_TX_DMA") from the async_tx tree. This is now commit
f3c56e57f66a73a241299dbec1ad55491aa0e403.
