I didn't try a full rebuild, but there is still (at least) one build failure.
sparc:allmodconfig fails to build with

ERROR: "vac_cache_size" [drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rdma_rxe.ko] undefined!

due to 663615c57ac1 ("infiniband: Fix alignment of mmap cookies to support
VIPT caching"). This patch also requires 9d262d95114cf ("sparc32: Export
vac_cache_size to fix build error").
