Build results:
	total: 121 pass: 109 fail: 12
Failed builds:
	mips:defconfig
	mips:allmodconfig
	mips:bcm47xx_defconfig
	mips:bcm63xx_defconfig
	mips:nlm_xlp_defconfig
	mips:ath79_defconfig
	mips:ar7_defconfig
	mips:fuloong2e_defconfig
	mips:e55_defconfig
	mips:cavium_octeon_defconfig
	mips:malta_defconfig
	sparc64:allmodconfig

mips builds are all failing with

Building mips:defconfig ... failed
--------------
Error log:
arch/mips/kernel/genex.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/kernel/genex.S:128: Error: Bad value (mips64r6) for internal use
arch/mips/kernel/genex.S:128: Error: unknown ISA level 64r6

This was introduced by commit 0bf705e94771800 ("MIPS: kernel: genex: Set
correct ISA level") which apparently assumes that only mips64r6 is a valid
ISA level, though it is obviously not supported on older compilers. This
is on top of the other mips r6 related build errors seen yesterday.

I really hope that this is not 3.20 material, given the lack of testing
with architectures other than mips r6 or with older compilers.
