Thanks, that version of gcc appears to work correctly with the kernel.
I've updated the builder with that.

There's a number of worrying warnings for ldp/stp instructions though.
Is that a binutils issue, or a KVM issue?

I've sent Greg a fix for the drivers/base/component.c warning.

There's a number of warnings in drivers/pci/host/pci-xgene.c which
look like they need resolving - returning NULL from a function which
returns an 'int' has never been valid - has this commit (which seems
to have introduced the problem) actually been tested?

Maybe xgene_pcie_map_bus() is supposed to return a void * ?
