In looking at these in some detail, the majority of them are due to api
changes in other trees, so these changes will have to be done during the
-rc1 merge window, which shouldn't be that big of an issue.

But yes, there are some kconfig dependancies as well, Randy is really
good at finding them :)  If you want to send me patches to fix these,
I'd appreciate it.
