I'm not working on linux-next at the moment. Hmm, I'm not even working
on mainline at the moment, the kernel I have is still 3.10-rc5.

Or could you provide your suggestions or completions about it ?

Thanks.

I'm still confused by what you are trying to accomplish.

Currently, I am trying to compile all architectures with allmodconfig in
next-* tree (which will have "COMPILE_TEST=y").

So I can find and solve the related issues (I am one of contributors).

So, you want all archs to pass an allmodconfig?

Well, one thing is, if a module doesn't build for an arch, then why not
keep that module from building for that arch.

If module foo.ko doesn't build for arch bazinga, then just add in the
Kconfig for the module foo:

config FOO
  depends on !BAZINGA

Then that module wont build for the specific arch, and all are happy. If
someone someday wants to support module foo for arch bazinga, then they
can fix module foo for that arch.
