Hi Ben,

As we are closing in on zero build failures for 3.18-stable, I've gone
through my earlier list for 3.16 as well, and filled some gaps from patches
I already backported or created for 3.18, plus a very small number that
are only needed on 3.16.

The series is a bit longer than I had hoped for, but it should get us
fairly close to a clean build on the architecture tested by kernelci
(ARM, ARM64, x86 and MIPS), and I can address the remaining warnings
once you have done a release or rc.

I hope sending the patches as a series makes your life easier than
a list of commit IDs. I can also provide a git tree for this huge
set if you prefer.

I prefer a list of commit IDs or an attached mbox that has the original
From and Date headers (like David Miller sends).  A git branch would
also work.

Please double-check your commit IDs; less than half of these were
correct.  Also please put a lower-case 'commit' before them as that's
what my scripts (and probably others) expect.

Ben.
