We were waiting for a fix for
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36329

I tested the candidate fix tonight and reported success; the
corresponding patch is at the top of my tree. Since I think we now have
a consensus on what the clang build will look like, I'll post that in
the morning along with the other bits I have ready to send upstream.

We're going to need the percpu.h fix too, and I'd also like to see the
status of the i915 build failure you mentioned. Is there a bug filed
for that already, and is it on the blocker list for 6.0? If not, why
not?

We also need to resolve the asm-goto thing.
