This patch fixes a build failure[1] for the avr32 architecture which seems
to be introduced by commit d7627467b7a8
"Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer"

The commit changes the definition in arch/avr32/kernel/process.c but
forgot to change it here.

Actually, I think it would be just as good to move to using the
syscalls.h in asm-generic. Let me prepare a patch or two for that. I can
try to push it through my, now hopefully working, arch tree.

 It states: "You must note the upstream commit ID in the changelog of your

Or should I rather drop the patch and we wait on Hans-Christian's patch(es)?

Thanks,
