Actually, the perf tree on its own was enough to trigger the build
problem, the luto-next tree was just what initially triggered the build
failure in linux-next (I guess there is some missing dependency).
After the build failed, I started including the perf tree directly
before the tip tree and the build would fail when I merged that ...
