Greg: Would you mind applying this set to staging-next for 3.5?
It took some messing with (due to some over-eager people fixing spelling
mistakes and compiler warnings that you didn't have in your tree), but
I've applied these now. Thanks for doing this work.

But, as I already said, this patch set produces some big compiler
warnings, can you please fix them up before I get nasty messages from
the linux-next maintainer?
Ok. So I manged to trigger the warning at patch 3/4 too. However, patch 4/4 resolves it.

The problem is the android alarm driver and the alarmtimer code have a naming collision with "struct alarm", and there were some macros (see CONFIG_ANDROID_ALARM_OLDDRV_COMPAT in staging/android/android_alarm.h before these patches) that allow a easier transition over to the new code for out of tree drivers.

Ideally I would have yanked those macros in 3/4 instead of 4/4. But after 4/4 is applied the issue should not longer be present (at least I've not been able to trigger it)

Do you want me to respin the last two patches?

thanks
