Hi Hugh,

To keep balance in future, remember to pte_unmap() after a successful
get_ptep(). And (we might as well) pretend that flush_cache_pages()
really needed a map there, to read the pfn before "unmapping".

^^^^^
One ")" too much and lacks a trailing ";"
Should be:
needs_flush = pte_needs_flush(*ptep);

With that fixed the kernel compiles and boots sucessfully on parisc.
