My bad.  I missed you fixed it in the merge.

I received a kbuild failure against linux-next this morning, and I
realized the build failure was against code that was already in 2.15 so
I should have patched and fixed that myself.

At which point I assumed the failure was because my siginfo code had
been merged into your tree.

Looking again you definitely fixed this in the merge.  So I don't know
the story of the broken kbuild of linux-next.  But I assume it will
sort itself out when the dust clears.

Apologies for the noise,
Eric
