*Tap*, *tap*, is this thing on? :)

acpi-video is still build-broken upstream, as of .38-rc3:

   MODPOST 651 modules
 ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_register" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
 ERROR: "thermal_cooling_device_unregister" [drivers/acpi/video.ko] undefined!
 WARNING: modpost: Found 37 section mismatch(es).
 To see full details build your kernel with:
 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
 make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
 make: *** [modules] Error 2

Triggers in about 10% of all randconfig builds. Config attached.

Thanks,
