My patience is wearing really thin. If I get another patchset that
doesn't compile in allyesconfig, allmodconfig, allnoconfig and defconfig
on both i386 and x86-64, I will put this patchset at the very bottom of
my priority list.

I strongly suggest also installing sparse and compiling with C=1 and
fixing all *those* warnings.

Sorry.
