They all went in already. Or are you saying you saw these on top of what is in staging right now? However - no to the question here. For one, there's nothing fatal about it the absence of xSplice. And even with xSplice I'm not sure this really should be fatal at the build stage. What should force people to at least look closely would be a runtime patch using such a symbol.

I actually see one with some gcc versions (an inline function not expanded inline in two different cpufreq.c). > Overall, Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.coop...@citrix.com>, > although I haven’t vetted the symbol.c changes too carefully.
