I tried 2.2.17.10 against Red Hat's 2.2.16-22 Kernel and it fails
in loop.c:
4 out of 9 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/block/loop.c.rej
I did not have the time to check what exactly goes wrong here but I'll
try as soon as time permits...
Still, if somebody has run into that same problem as well, please let
me know.
