Those seemed to be for Android drivers and such, so I hope you
reported those failures to the driver maintainers as well as
linux-kernel.

For the time being could you just disable those drivers in your
build just to get work done or do you absolutely need them?

That header file got moved out to drivers/staging along with the
wavelan driver.

The header file should instead be moved to, perhaps, include/linux
while there are still other users of it.

That's incredibly clumsy what drivers/net/znet.c is doing.

John please fix this up, thanks!
