Anything received after that time might be too late.
Updated build and test results:
Build results:
total: 137 pass: 135 fail: 2
Failed builds:
arc:allnoconfig
arm64:allmodconfig
Qemu test results:
total: 97 pass: 94 fail: 3
Failed tests:
arm:xilinx-zynq-a9:multi_v7_defconfig:zynq-zc706
Update:
This failure was sporadic and easily fixed by adding "rootwait"
to the command line options.

arm64:smp:defconfig
arm64:nosmp:defconfig
This is after dropping a couple of builds and qemu tests which are
known to be bad in 3.16, and after some fixes in the tree.
The arm64 build failure is due to gcc5, which needs a patch from a
later kernel. The other failures are new and did not occur in 3.16.7.
A bisect of the arm64 qemu failure points to commit f98ab7a1e78
("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't
make any progress"). Unfortunately, that is inconclusive, since there
have been several follow-up commits trying to fix it. After reverting
all those commits, the test still fails.
Thank you very much for the analysis. I'll look at the failures later
as none of them appear to be related to the current patch series.
Ben.
