This kernel passed my test. I didn't hit the problem which
Guenter reported since I only test x86_64 arch.

- Test Cases:
- Build this kernel.
- Boot this kernel.
- Build the latest mainline kernel with this kernel.

- Test Tool:
https://github.com/satoru-takeuchi/test-linux-stable

- Test Result (kernel .config, ktest config and test log):
http://satoru-takeuchi.org/test-linux-stable/results/<version>-<test datetime>.tar.xz

- Build Environment:
- OS: Debian Jessy x86_64
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz x 4
- memory: 8GB

- Test Target Environment:
- Debian Jessy x86_64 (KVM guest on the Build Environment)
- # of vCPU: 2
- memory: 2GB

Thanks,
