As mentioned in the cover letter, so far I've only converted enough to get the
defconfig *image* building (i.e. no modules). If you are compiling a different
config or compiling the modules for defconfig, you will likely run into these
types of issues.

That said, I do have some patches to fix Hyper-V, which Michael Kelley was kind
enough to send me.

I understand that Suse might be able to help with wider performance testing - if
that's the reason you are trying to compile, you could send me your config and
I'll start working on fixing up other drivers?

Thanks,
Ryan
