Grr. I think a lot of the build failures end up being due to commit
466e4d801cd4 ("task_work: Add TWA_NMI_CURRENT as an additional notify
mode") depending on IRQ_WORK, and that not existing everywhere.

I pushed out a tentative fix as commit cec6937dd1aa ("task_work: make
TWA_NMI_CURRENT handling conditional on IRQ_WORK"). I haven't set up a
build environment for those tiny targets, but it looked fairly
straightforward.

I think that explains at least most of the 'tinyconfig' build failures.

Not super-happy about how people apparently were discussing the build
failures for a long time, and didn't even bother mentioning them in
the pull requests. That broken commit came in through the perf-core
pull from Ingo.

And that fix (if it fixes it - I think it will) still leaves the alpha
allmodconfig build and all the failed tests.

I'll take a look.
