    I don't know, I haven't checked. It was just a shot in the dark. Maybe
    it's easier to revert the removal of asm/compat.h from s390 files. Could
    you bake a patch?

    Yes, but that is even in 2.6.34. So the fix for autofs is incomplete in
    .32 as it breaks build on configs which used to work.
