This is one of the things that the per merge build tests really help
with - they filter out the vast majority of errors by just not letting
updates into -next (which applies some backpressure to get thing fixed
in the original tree too).

This seems really tough to do given the rate of change of -next -
there's about 24 hours to get fixes in there before you have to rebase
forwards again.
