mn10300 (v3.10, v3.14):

kernel/uid16.c:19:1: error: unknown type name 'old_uid_t'
kernel/uid16.c:19:1: error: unknown type name 'old_gid_t'
ipc/util.c:609:2: error: 'old_uid_t' undeclared

and other similar errors. Requires c86576ea114a ("mn10300: Select CONFIG_HAVE_UID16
to fix build failure"). Results in minor easy to resolve conflict in v3.10.y (I didn't
check v3.14.y). Let me know if you need a backport.

4.1 and 4.3 are also affected by this problem.

arm64 (4.1, 4.3):

allmodconfig core dumps (oops). I'll need to look into that one.

Two patches are culprits here:

- 'recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop' causes the crash.
   It is not the C compiler. Maybe some other patch to recordmcount is missing.

- 'arm64: mm: use correct mapping granularity under DEBUG_RODATA' uses SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE
   which is not defined in 4.3. This causes a build failure in 4.3 after reverting the above.
   I didn't check 4.1.
