So this seems to be my fault.  I was under the impression that next
branches were rebased.  This warning was introduced in v7 of my patch
set applied by Ted to his random tree.  The build warning issue was
found by the kbuild test bot and based on my _incorrect_ understanding
of how linux-next worked I implemented the fix and _incremented_ the
version number of the original patch set thinking Ted would rebase
random-next and apply the latest version.

I now see that I should have done a new patch set on top of
random-next.  Thanks for fixing this Arnd, it helped me notice that the
other code changes in the final version of that patch set didn't make it
in :)

thanks,
Tobin.
