Compiling the latest linux-nvme kernel

Has anyone tried compiling the latest linux-nvme kernel (last change
6/28/14 looks like)? It appears the module tree is broken.
What I usually do to try out the latest code on this tree is take a
distro .config default (in my case, Ubuntu 14.04) and use that as a
starting .config default, then allow a kernel build use whatever default
selections are not described in that .config before starting the compile.
These two modules are 'm' by default in my .config process and break:
obj-$(CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ECN) += ipt_ECN.o
obj-$(CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MARK) += xt_mark.o
For ipt_ECN, it appears someone did work on a computer that is not
upper-case specific (i.e., Mac or Windows) because the compile problems
appear to be upper-lowercase problems. Turning CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ECN
to 'n' is pretty simple and allows me to move on.
xt_mark break I haven't quite figured out what is going on- just setting
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MARK to 'n' does not work; it looks like it gets
reset to 'm' so I think there is some dependency somewhere I haven't
figured out yet.
Anyways, if anyone has stumbled upon this problem and already has a
solution I'd be happy to hear it.
Thanks!
