Oh that patch's linux-next commit is 18bc58821de88e5621cfdaac78c814ea479accab
and goes _after_ the current commit 6311ac08e93b12f1367da092b413dd2434be45f5.

So linux-next HEAD no longer has the build errors, however I still got these
warnings:

That's a trivial avr32 problem.

That's perhaps related to how cmpxchg() is expanded in avr32.

        /c/wfg/linux/lib/percpu-refcount.c: In function 'percpu_ref_kill':
==>     /c/wfg/linux/lib/percpu-refcount.c:114: warning: 'new' may be used uninitialized in this function

Should be a false warning. The code looks fine.

Thanks,
