Linux next didn't pick up this build failure, wierdly neither did the
powerpc build I did with this turned off, because ACPI was also off on
ppc, it was in linux-next for at least 2 days, and from what I can see
that found the ppc problems, it never found the x86 option since it was on
by default.

I'm going to just rip the nouveau bits out of the patch, btw nouveau is in
staging, so you are being a bit OTT, calm down.

Dave.
