Apart from all the other fun, it seems that we need to merge
kconfig-abort-configuration-with-recursive-dependencies.patch, because
scripts/kconfig/conf -m arch/i386/Kconfig

make[1]: *** [allmodconfig] Error 1
make: *** [allmodconfig] Error 2
This is due to your patch interacting with
make-config_paravirt-require-no_hz.patch:
From: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
Require NO_HZ when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
