Ahh thanks for reminding me. Well I just tried:

git checkout   -b new_syscall_API

...and it silently did nothing that I could see.

I went back into menuconfig and somehow the uart support
was "forced off" and I had to delete PPS support and re-enable
it, then the uart support was enabled. I'm recompiling the
kernel now, and its rebuilding things, I guess due to menuconfig
touching stuff.

I guess that doesn't matter, let's see how far I get with this
new kernel. Somehow source code management tools cause me trouble.
