Hi all,
After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
failed like this:
In file included from drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-dev.c:18:
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-smn.h:15:10: fatal error: asm/amd_nb.h: No such file or directory

Caused by commit
bcbb65559532 ("x86/platform/amd: Move the <asm/amd_nb.h> header to <asm/amd/nb.h>")
interacting with commit
e49479f30ef9 ("amd-xgbe: add support for new XPCS routines")
from the net-next tree.
I have applied the following merge resolution for today.

This is now a semantic conflict between the net-next tree and Linus' tree.

The conflict resolution looks good to me.
Note that this is not a 'build failure in the -tip tree' per se, but a
two-tree symmetric semantic merge conflict between the networking tree
and the x86 tree that must be resolved at the two-tree merge level
(-next in this case). Had you merged net-next after -tip, it would have
triggered the build failure.
This two-tree semantic conflict should be mentioned in the pull request
to Linus by whoever sends their tree second. (Which will likely be the
networking tree in this particular case.)
I usually mark semantic conflicts the following way in the merge
resolution:
Merge branch 'x86/msr' into x86/core, to resolve conflicts
Conflicts:
arch/x86/boot/startup/sme.c
arch/x86/coco/sev/core.c
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/core.c
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/xstate.c
Semantic conflict:
arch/x86/include/asm/sev-internal.h
