did you try it? and the compilation was successfully?

I pulled from the mainline git repo. The new kernel built successfully with no
problems. After booting, the logs showed no problems. I was able to build and
run the VirtualBox drivers with no changes. It appears that there are not many
changes in the kernel API. I did not try to build any nVidia drivers, nor did I
run the new kernel for very long. Once 3.12-rc1 reaches the wireless-testing
tree, I will use it exclusively.
My impression with recent kernels is that the use of the linux-next tree is
finding build problems before they reach mainline. The whole process seems a lot
cleaner than it was during the 2.6.X kernels.
i think that the compilation of the nvidia driver will fail (from google).
just have a stupid question what opensuse version you or anyone else using to test kernels, and do you use inside Vmware or VirtualBox? just want to know .

I am running openSUSE 12.3, but the version makes little difference as long as
it is not too old. The main part of openSUSE used to build kernels is the
compiler, and the kernel devs make certain that the code builds on recent
versions of gcc.
Inside VirtualBox, I run the following: (1) Windows XP for the 2 applications
that do not run under wine, (2) a 32-bit version of the most recent openSUSE for
testing - most of my systems run 64-bit versions, and (3) tests of the current
openSUSE development version - 13.1 at the moment.
Kernels are built on the system in which they will be run. That may be a VM, or
a real machine. I do not build rpm’s, and my kernel configurations are stripped
to a minimum, thus my kernels are not portable. A standard openSUSE kernel
builds over 2000 modules - my typical setup builds only ~300. That saves a lot
of time. As I may do 15 or 20 builds a day, it adds up.
You don’t know iwfinger if he can’t compile the nvidia driver nobody can lol!

I have compiled on factory but that shouldn’t matter I compiled on one hard drive and booted successfully I installed factory http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/openSUSE-Factory-KDE-Live-x86_64-Build0716-Media.iso on a second hard drive to test out the btrfs copied the kernel files there and ran
sudo make modules_install install
That is so I don’t have to compile twice. Same machine just different partitions
