Just having it pointed out is fine. I notice build errors on x86-64
myself, but other architectures get rather iffy. arm64 is the best of
the bunch, in that I *will* do the build test, it's just not as
timely.

If known merge issues get pointed out, I (a) know to look out for them
and (b) know that the trees involved actually were in linux-next and
people were paying attention.

It's usually not been a problem with your trees, particularly since
most of your stuff does build on x86. This whole CDX subsystem being
arm64-only is not great for build coverage.
