I had a look through the patch series. I've posted an altered version of
the class override patch. I've pulled the gcc 4.7 part into master-next,
have get gcc 4.7 as the default and am running it though the
autobuilder. That should see how we stand with our usual regression
tests.

I didn't add in the kmod or mips64 bits yet as I wanted to test one
thing at a time.

Cheers,
