>>> These are expected since you need to have the changes in kernel that were committed with this patch to be installed on the kernel on which this is being compiled/run on. That is what the test is for, and the check to make it run on previous kernels as well was made a runtime check. Do you expect this to compile on a kernel without the corresponding kernel changes that were committed with this patch?

All the commits went in together - however, the kernel changes that went in this patch need to be *installed on kernel on which this is being built*. Did you do that and then try? 

Jakub,
Do I need to revert the -f runtime filter option back to compile time and commit with that disabled so the selftest compiles on a kernel on which the new options are not defined?
