This kernel can be built and boot without any problem.
Building a kernel with this kernel also works fine.

- Build Machine: debian wheezy x86_64
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz x 4
memory: 8GB

- Test machine: debian wheezy x86_64(KVM guest on the Build Machine)
vCPU: x2
memory: 2GB

I reviewed the following patches and it looks good to me.
