 A lot of this breakage is due to API changes. Gotta break some eggs
 to make an omelette. I've tried to keep things in at least a
 semi-usable state in the -dj patches. Give them a try if you're
 getting nowhere fast.

 Pushing fixes from this tree to Linus is a full time job in itself,
 without the other things that come with it (Keeping up with Marcelo,
 Linus, and whatever comes up on Linux-kernel, bug tracking etc..)
 So some stuff is already fixed, but not yet merged with Linus.
 I'm working on it..
