My memory is hazy, sorry, so I dug this up:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/542 and then re-read most of it.  I had
a newer version of the __packed check that I didn't post (I'm pretty
sure) since the general feedback seemed to be that it wasn't wanted for
the kernel.  Other than that (and some other tiny things that are easy
to fixup) no, we don't have local changes.
