Hmm .. I've seen that before. Looks like a missing commit from upstream.
I'll check later tonight.

powerpc:

drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c:263:9: error: 'pcibios_free_controller_deferred'
undeclared

arch/powerpc/include/asm/uaccess.h: In function 'copy_from_user':
arch/powerpc/include/asm/uaccess.h:328:1: error: wrong type argument to unary plus

I'll have to look into those.

runtime:

qemu openrisc crashes with a NULL pointer dereference. There is no backtrace;
I'll have to bisect.

qemu ppc all fail to build with "drivers/misc/cxl/vphb.c:263:9: error:
'pcibios_free_controller_deferred' undeclared".
