Thanks.

No, because I took it out of linux-next yesterday. It is more a timing thing, if you had done that a few weeks ago, I would have just reported any build errors and continued on, but just before the merge window opens we don;t need the distraction. Also, if you can create another branch and give it to the zero day build farm, you should get better feed back.
Also, linux-next is not supposed to contain patches without a Signed-off-by ... -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au
