No, because I took it out of linux-next yesterday.  It is more a timing
thing, if you had done that a few weeks ago, I would have just reported
any build errors and continued on, but just before the merge window
opens we don;t need the distraction.  Also, if you can create another
branch and give it to the zero day build farm, you should get better
feed back.

Also, linux-next is not supposed to contain patches without a
Signed-off-by ...
