gargh, sorry, that's probably due to my screwed up attempt to fix Kay's
screwed up
gregkh-driver-driver-core-change-add_uevent_var-to-use-a-struct.patch.

Kay sent an update patch but it didn't arrive in time.

Greg, if you haven't yet merged that, please do so asap?

So what _should_ this:

--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c~fix-4-gregkh-driver-driver-core-change-add_uevent_var-to-use-a-struct
+++ a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vio.c
@@ -373,7 +373,7 @@ static int vio_hotplug(struct device *de
dn = dev->archdata.of_node;
if (!dn)
return -ENODEV;
- cp = of_get_property(dn, "compatible", &length);
+ cp = of_get_property(dn, "compatible", &env->buflen);
if (!cp)
return -ENODEV;

have done?
