I missed Stephen's messages about the build failure [0] and he
switched to using a checkout from 20150925, which is directly before
the patch. As a result this patch and all following patches have not

I will send a revert to you guys in a few minutes, so that I can get
your ACK for sending it as pull request to Torvalds.
