I tried to make sure allyesconfig worked for x86_64 and a bunch of defconfigs
worked.  I can't guarantee that that got 100% coverage.  I also knew there
would be some breakage from the base Linux kernel having moved on by the time
Linus pulled myu patches - though I don't know if this is the case here (I
suspect not).
