Yes, it still builds :)
I had built with some different .config options, including
allyesconfig, allno, some randoms and debian default config. I tested
some .config options related to fbdev. I spent time running some kernels
with different parameters and everything was ok.
Today, I've just applied the patch to source from two gits: Linus
rc and drm. Both have built ok.
I think that I did enough tests to ensure it works fine. This code is going
to run in many computers, mine included!
Of course, if you or anyone is worried about something specific, please,
tell me and I can check and re-check it. I don't want to miss something
important.
Thank you!
