I admit that my secret dream is that RH already would have done that for
RHEL 6.1 kernels, otherwise it will take rather long time. AFAIK, they
backport things like that only for new minor versions, so if it's not in 6.1
in the beginning, it won't be there before 6.2?
As a quick workaround I set up a dirty bomb: installed 2.6.38 from Fedora 15
updates repo -so far it seems to work, and I wanted to have a very
CentOS-like system for testing certain things in a portable hardware (easy
to carry my virtual test machine farm to home in the evening). This is just
a preliminary tester, not a production system, so it won't be a big problem
if it crashes some day.
