For those not yet familiar with this train wreck, please do

Very well , I will not work on this any longer as I seem to be just
screwing it up.

You have been trying to send patches fixing FIX ME for the past few
days. A lot of maintainers are really upset with you since you do not
follow the proper procedures while submitting patches.
Lots of maintainers have asked you to stop sending in patches. If you
do not listen, they will start redirecting your mail to /dev/null.
(many have already done that)
Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches atleast once. Please test
your patches by _atleast_ compiling the kernel ensuring that your
changes are compiling.
There are other tasks to do than sending in code patches. Like
documentation patches. Read the documentation and try to understand
them. Fix spelling/grammar mistakes there. Once you are comfortable
with programming in C, you can send it code patches.
Frankly, your build testing is great and might be helping. Just report
that builds fail, you don't need to send in code patches which you are
not sure are fixes for the failures.
Finally, join kernelnewbies mailing list and learn by asking/answering
questions.
Regards,

Nicholas, you can't just enable this code; it will break the
build, since there is no lookup_address() symbol on tile.
I'd like to encourage you to look for more substantive kinds of
changes to submit to LKML. This one and the last one (adding some
underscores to some obsolete symbols) both have ended up costing me
some time to look at and figure out what's actually going on, but
for no real value. I suspect there may be "janitor" tasks that
are more useful if you are looking for small starting points
(Google for "linux kernel janitors").
That said I'm going to go ahead and check in the following change
which actually does work, now that my attention has been drawn here.

Chris,
Understood I screwed up here. I am doing other changes with build and
warning errors. Plus some
fix me issues that are simple. I will double check my patches and the
code they are relating to more
carefully. I should have asked you before writing this patch:(.
