I thought you distro folks were the franenkernel experts. :)

But, seriously...  This isn't rocket science.  Just look at the pkru.h
in your tree and figure out what includes it needs.  If it needs FPU
gunk, include the FPU header.  If you get a compile error for spinlock_t
...  well ...  find the code using spinlock_t and make sure it includes
spinlock.h.
