sorry, I had the !CONFIG_MODULES patch in my tree also, so this was on
top of that one:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/550

I can resend that one, on top of this one, or you can fix it up.

Sorry for not getting it right the first time ;-)

oops, i missed fixing this up, when I tested with allnoconfig this
wasn't built due to CONFIG_MODULES=n.  I should have built only with
syfs=n :(
