Ok. So I manged to trigger the warning at patch 3/4 too. However, patch 
4/4 resolves it.

The problem is the android alarm driver and the alarmtimer code have a 
naming collision with "struct alarm", and there were some macros (see 
CONFIG_ANDROID_ALARM_OLDDRV_COMPAT in staging/android/android_alarm.h 
before these patches) that allow a easier transition over to the new 
code for out of tree drivers.

Ideally I would have yanked those macros in 3/4 instead of 4/4.  But 
after 4/4 is applied the issue should not longer be present (at least 
I've not been able to trigger it)

Do you want me to respin the last two patches?

thanks
