Andrew,
So far only one issue has popped up. I've posted the following patch to akpm to solve
that issue. Please apply this patch on-top/with this v28 series.

  [PATCH] x86/crash: correct unused function build error

The thread on this issue is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/08fc20ef-854d-404a-b2f2-75941eeeccf8@paulmck-laptop/

If you'd rather I post a v29, I'll happily do so.
Thank you!
eric
