NP. :)

Hmm. Somewhat concerning.

That is interesting. So the file "include/linux/mmzone.h" has a
reference to "generated/bounds.h".

It seems as if I shall have to (a) copy the entire "generated"
directory structure to the kernel-ml-devel tree and (b) create a link
between the "generated/autoconf.h" file and the "include/linux/"
directory. Hmm . . . I need to go away and reconsider things . . .

At present, I have two issues "on the list":

(1) As reportred by Dag Wieers (see
http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=153 notes 1222, 1224, 1231 & 1242)
but not seen by anyone else.

(2) Failure to build external modules due to a defect in the
kernel-ml-devel package.
