3.3-rc5 works for me, as does 3.2.7 with the following changes
cherry-picked:

a32744d4abae (autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64)
3c761ea05a89 (Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT)
048cd4e51d24 (compat: fix compile breakage on s390)

The latter two are necessary to fix FTBFS problems on other
architectures introduced by a32744d4abae.

Cheers,
       Sven
