    The removal of errno from this three drivers is currently only in -mm.

    So unless someone forwards them (they were sent by Andi Kleen as gcc 3.5
    build fixes, but he apparently didn't test a modular build) to Linus
    which hopefully won't happen before the affected modules are properly
    fixed, Linus' tree isn't affected.
