Sorry, I sent the old version of the patch and did not fixup this...
Kernel robot kindly show me this error.
I swear the output in the cover letter was done on the compiled kernel within 
a VM.

I will send a v4 correcting this but I will wait to get some reviews on v3 to 
not send to not generate too much traffic here.
