Happy fixing! ;-)

Thanks to the linux-next team for providing the build service.

*** ERRORS ***

3 error regressions:
+ /kisskb/src/arch/um/kernel/skas/clone.c: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before string constant: => 24:16

For me, reverting commit 33def8498fdde180023444b08e12b72a9efed41d ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")") fixed this compile error and one other introduced by the same patch.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to come up with a fix for that, but I have CC the author of that patch.

Thanks!
