Report: 2.6.13-rc4-mm1: only 8 errors for 752 randconfig builds

[Grant Coady]

Greetings,

Automating random config kernel build testing, for 2.6.13-rc4-mm1:

Done processing 752 random builds, from which:
###   8 .configs produced errors
###  11 .configs produced undefs
###  52 .configs produced warnings

Abbreviated errors (first 2 lines/error):

Further info, full error results, configs producing errors, etc from 
http://scatter.mine.nu/test/kernel/2.6.13-rc4-mm1/

Warnings recorded are those not deprecated, not #warning.
bzip2 tarballs of configs producing errors, undefs 22kB, warnings 86kB
A significant data reduction from the 28MB raw build results :)

Note: the report generator lists all faults for a particular source file, 
explains why summary above for errors shows warnings in first 2 lines.

Grant.

whee.

I fixed a couple locally:
