- Removed mactel patch
The removal of these patches was because a) there are no new patches
available for 2.6.25 and b) I am trying to reduce the amount of
patching, especially if it only benefits a few people or can be
potentially dangerous.
As far as I know, the mactel patch is required for some hardware support
on intel-based mac systems and contains important fixes. This does not seem
like one patch too many, but an essential one for all users who, like me,
have mac hardware.
I do understand your wish to reduce the number of patches, but throwing out
patches required for support of important hardware does not seem the way to
go to me.

I also am using arch on my mac, and I find this essential and should not be
removed if you find 2.6.25 compatible patchs (I am sure that they will come
out in not so many time)

Hi, I would suggest to test the new kernel on your mac before
complaining, perhaps it supports it better now. And if after that much
time this patch is necessary for such common hardware and hasn't been
imported upstream, I think you should contact the LKML.
