After applying the patches attached below, everything compiles for me,
and there are no crashes. There are still various warnings, most in
networking. I know I need to apply some patch(es) to fix the networking
warnings, but I didn't entirely understand what exactly to apply, so
I didn't try.

Complete logs are at https://kerneltests.org/builders, on the bottom half
of the page (qemu tests, in the 'testing' column).
