Check the results page of the automated builds I do
(http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next) - I don't think that the
compile coverage is weak ...  Of course, if people don't read the
results ...

Those automated builds are done after the release.  Before the release,
the tree is built for ppc64_defconfig, powerpc allnoconfig, 44x_defconfig
for powerpc, allmodconfig for x86_64 and defconfig for i386, sparc and
sparc64.

All this is mentioned in my release notes every day.

September 19 (Australian time) was the last linux-next release.  I don't
know off the top of my head if the particular patch in question was in
next-20080919, but it did contain a version of James' post merge patches.
