Sorry, I hadn't seen that one.  I found some bugs in my test suite when 
getting it to run on the new machines so I've got some new failures I'm 
working through, which is sort of blocking up everything right now.  
Everything in this PR was tested the old way so I'm confident in it, but 
I usually do a merge with Linus' tree and test that before sending a PR.  
In hindsight it might have been better to skip that this time around, 
given all the headaches getting things up and running, but it's too late 
for that now.

I'd like to get back on a more solid footing before trying to pick up 
more stuff -- I guess that's a pretty trivial fix, but anything in the 
build system can run into wrinkles (also looks like it was broken in 
5.15, so it'll have to get backported).
