I'll try again.

The problem was kcore-register-vmalloc-area-in-generic-way.patch
has lines for kcore-use-registerd-physmem-information.patch.
And if kcore-register-vmalloc-area-in-generic-way.patch is applied
but subsequents are not, complie will fail.

I don't like bisection(and rarely do) but, in these days, no-bisection-breakage
is a fundamental manner to write series of patches.
