I haven'tr tried building the proposed patches so far, as I was waiting for
the kernelci builds.

However, I see that the stable-rc/linux-3.16.y doesn't have the current
set, it still points to the old 3.16.35 release from last year.

I think if you upload the branch to the stable-rc git, that should produce
the automated build and boot results via email or via the
https://kernelci.org/job/ interface. Once there are some results
there, I'll go through the list once more to see what warnings
and failures remain.

I'm not in a hurry to fix the old warnings, and can do that pass after
the 3.16 release is out on git and in kernelci, but it would help to see
if the bots has caught any regressions.
