It *should* be harmless, but I think it's also safe to say that it's not
something anyone's likely intentionally testing.

You could pull up only the necessary changes for Linux kernel portability,
I think there were quite a few, but that's probably still easier than the
solution that Steve recommended.  Transplanting the whole kernel source
tree will also require substantial changes to the Autoconf macros to probe
for and set the new defines, at which point you're doing all the work that
you had to do in order to cherry-pick the required changes anyway, but
doing it in a fairly unstable way.
