Thanks for all of the work that went into this series.  I think I've
reviewed all of them.
With this series plus this hunk:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration/blob/master/patches/llvm-all/linux-next/x86/x86-support-i386-with-Clang.patch#L219-L237
I can build and boot i386_defconfig with Clang! So for the series:
