Yes it worked.

Tested-by: Fengguang Wu <wfg@...ux.intel.com>

In long run, such build-fix patches can also be auto tested and
reported, somehow in this way. You just create a temporary branch
named "0day-XXXXXX" and push the build-fix patch there. After a while
my robot script will pull and build test it. When finished, it will
recognize the "0day" pattern in the branch name and then
*unconditionally* report back.

"unconditionally" means it will

- report build failure as well as build success
- report new error/warnings as well as old ones

Upon receiving the success/failure notification, you can then proceed
to either merge the commit to the main branch, or update the commit in
place to restart the test. This should work much more fluently than
waiting for me to manually test some emailed patch. Not only I may be
sleeping at the time, but also I'm sending out build failure reports
almost *every day*. It would be a burden for me to manually test out
fixes every day...

Thanks,
Fengguang
