You've changed the API signature in this patch, but don't update any of
the callers until the next patch. This means that the build will fail on
this patch.

In order to ensure that "git bisect" can be usable we require that the
code is able to build sucessfully on every patch in a series.

So I think you'll have to merge patch 5 into this patch to ensure the
build succeeds.

Regards,
Daniel
