I didn't realize the original patch was based on integration branch, which is apparently why it kept failing to apply with rpmbuild (and hence patch) on kernel-3.16.0-1.fc21.src.rpm. I'm told in this email that git am would have sorted this out for me. (?)

But if it requires a local git clone of upstream's dev branch, then ignore this part because I'm not going to do that. I'd sooner ask for a patch that applies onto something I'm actually going to build.

Request 3: Current instructions call for use of yum, yumdownloader, and yum-builddep. Can it be done entirely with dnf? I'm not sure what the dnf equivalent is for yumdownloader or yum-builddep.
