This "depends on X86 || COMPILE_TEST" does not exist in either 'net' or 'net-next'.
Please submit your patches against a clean checkout of the networking GIT tree,
rather than something else such as linux-next.

Oh, really it is, It is my fault (originally I get mail address from
"./scripts/get_maintainers.pl", but not give additional check on it).

For your information (or implicit suggestion), if one module wants to
request 'COMPILE_TEST', the platforms (or asm-generic) is recommended to
try to support it.

It seems I still have the chance to continue discuss about it with
platform guys. ;-)

David told you that your patch does not apply.
Not even Linus' tree has "depends on X86 || COMPILE_TEST".
Please adjust your patch.

Before send the patch, it is better to discuss the "asm-generic"
whether need consider 'COMPILE_TEST'.

No.

config COMPILE_TEST
        bool "Compile also drivers which will not load"
        default n
        help
          Some drivers can be compiled on a different platform than they are
          intended to be run on. Despite they cannot be loaded there (or even
          when they load they cannot be used due to missing HW support),
          developers still, opposing to distributors, might want to build such
          drivers to compile-test them.

          If you are a developer and want to build everything available, say Y
          here. If you are a user/distributor, say N here to exclude useless
          drivers to be distributed.

I guess, 'COMPILE_TEST' is really useful for UML.

No.

We have explained you more than once what the deal and why UML does not
have ioremap() and friends.
