It seems above request fell thru the cracks due to holiday season.
Can you please queue up above for next 3.14 stable cycle.

and also the following:

2014-06-24 ba25915fb2cd ARC: Fix build breakage for !CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND
2014-10-01 e8ef060b37c2 ARC: [nsimosci] move peripherals to match model to FPGA

Lots of things "fell through", I have over 300 pending patches that
didn't make it into this round of kernel releases, so you are in good
company.  Just relax, they will make it in eventually :)

thanks,

Now queued up.

I don't see how this is an issue for 3.14, it says it fixes a 3.15 build
issue only, so I didn't apply it.  Why did you ask for it?

thanks,

Technically it was indeed detected in 3.15 but the offending commit was merged in 3.14 (93ea02bb8435 arch: Clean up asm/barrier.h implementations using asm-generic/barrier.h)
I'm ok if you think it doesn't qualify !

FWIW, as an addendum to my prev email I'd also requested for the following backport.
Perhaps you will do that when u eventually get to that email from ur backlog. Otherwise, the details are below.
