Pulled, but whenever there are possible subtle compiler issues I get nervous, and wonder if the problem was reported to the clang guys?
In particular, if the kernel change was technically correct, maybe somebody else comes along in a few years and tries the same, and then it's another odd "why doesn't this work for person X when it works just fine for me"..
