README for mm-of-the-moment:

https://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/

This is a snapshot of my -mm patch queue.  Uploaded at random hopefully
more than once a week.

You will need quilt to apply these patches to the latest Linus release (5.x
or 5.x-rcY).  The series file is in broken-out.tar.gz and is duplicated in
https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/series

The file broken-out.tar.gz contains two datestamp files: .DATE and
.DATE-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.  Both contain the string yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss,
followed by the base kernel version against which this patch series is to
be applied.

4 of 10 i386 builds had hundreds of build errors.
Those same 4 builds had CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y.
It may be a coincidence -- I haven't found out yet.

One of the 4 randconfig files is attached.

Here is a sampling of build errors:
