It's probably not a good idea to just post a collection of build errors in 
one email that isn't cc'd to anyone in particular and expect the issues to 
be addressed.

 - The staging errors should be reported directly to the people 
   responsible for those drivers, check git-blame for who to email: not
   everything in staging is guaranteed to compile at any time, it's very
   fluid.

 - The __builtin_log2() problem should be fixed with "fs/mbcache.c: 
   replacing __builtin_log2() with ilog2()" that was written specifically
   due to your previous error report, see 
   http://marc.info/?t=140147146600003

 - I can't reproduce your align_vdso_addr() problem, please send your 
   .config
