Arnd's patch "kbuild: provide include/asm/asm-prototypes.h for ARM" fixes
it, but I think it's a mixture of fixes, and partially dependent on some
other patches.  I don't know what the status of his patch is, but my
feeling is that it consists of more than a single fix, and needs
splitting.  Certainly the asm-prototypes.h is not relevant to this
problem, but the rest of it seems to be.
