I'm pretty sure this is unrelated to my patch, but it's a recurring

CC Shun for checking if there are problems with the bisect.

problem that we should get
to the bottom of. Olof's autobuilder has reported the same thing for
the 3.18-stable tree
but not any others (for every single file in the kernel, not sure if
this warning only
shows up for all of them, or just one module).

Thanks,
