Heh, fixups are always hard to get right across multiple patches, been
there, done that...

Just ARCH=i386 allmodconfig. CONFIG_CPU_SRSO depends on X86_64 so I
guess that is how it got triggered. I did not build between every patch,
just this one (since it should fix the runtime warning folks have been
noticing) and the final one (as I reported earlier).
