great. Note that it's randconfig generated - so watch out for weird 
config combinations.

randconfig, besides finding build-bugs, is also good at finding various 
runtime bugs: it is great at finding weird alignment and 
boundary-condition bugs in generic code, and it's also great at finding 
races (by virtue of introducing random delays between various functions, 
via random enabling/disabling of debug facilities and other options that 
impact the generated code's layout and timing).
