This is wrong.
See 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=commitdiff;h=113fc5a6e8c2288619ff7e8187a6f556b7e0d372

you need to explicitly mark you are changing the memory, here.

Btw, this is mostly header copying, and can miss bug fixes like the one above. 
Isn't there
a way to just specify in the test they are needed, and then grab them from 
linux automatically?
