FYI:  I have already sent a pair of patches that fix the include 
dependencies:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/16/113
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/17/422

Obviously, it is Linus' choice as to how best to handle the failure, but 
I think it is important to know that there are two options (fixing ia64 
and mn10300, or reverting the patch).
