First, I'm pissed that the upstream tree doesn't build and run out of
the box months after I submitted a fix in July (and it's September
now). Fact that you dropped my sane patches aside and decided to write
a much larger series aside, user-mode Linux in upstream is broken.
This means that any user who does:

$ ARCH=um make defconfig
$ ARCH=um make

will end up with a *broken* Linux _today_. Unless the user is living
in the Stone Age with a 32-bit computer, this is what she will see
when she attempts to boot up Linux:

$ file linux
linux: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not
stripped
$ ./linux ubd0=busybox-rootfs
[...]
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option
to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.

Rubbish.

When I rebase my original patches (exactly 2 small independent
patches) onto the new upstream, stuff works as usual. If you're not
convinced, try the um-build branch from
https://github.com/artagnon/linux for yourself.

Are you against accepting good patches and stalling work? What is your
plan exactly?

Annoyed,
Ram
