I'm announcing the release of the 6.1.165 kernel.

All users of the 6.1 kernel series must upgrade.

The updated 6.1.y git tree can be found at:
        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.1.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
        https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary


Thanks,
Sasha

In the now released 6.1.165, I get the same build error as I have reported in the 1st incarnation of 6.1.165-rc2 (see [1])

So the offending patch seems to be still in, although in the 2nd 
incarnation of -rc2 which you force pushed over the 1st one of -rc2, 
it was then reverted after my report [2]. When i git blame 
arch/x86/kernel/setup.c and look at the offending line I see:

Yup, sorry. I don't have as much automation as Greg does, so many of the steps
were manual...
