I realize we are still pretty early in the rc process but there are some
seemingly significant problems building compat-wireless 2.6.35_rc2
(which should be very close if not identical to the linus tree). I have
copied the rt2x00 team because of the first error and Luiz for the second.
First and foremost this won't build at all:
/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/compat-wireless-2.6.35_rc2/work/compat-wireless-2.6.35-rc2/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800pci.c:

error: implicit declaration of function 'KSEG1ADDR'

Error 1
Additionally but likely less important this driver seems to be defining
variables overriding kernel headers, I can't imagine that is good. Not
sure if this is something that the driver needs to fix or needs to be
fixed in compat-wireless but here it is:

I'll try to build the rc2 kernel and see if these errors are the same.
Thanks,
