I tested the important ones such as the floppy and ch changes. If the patches are wrong, which I personally suspected many of them were, then it's a good example as to why distributions shouldn't hack around the kernel in userspace, or keep their own patches. So yes, they're a bit stinky (hell, I even fluffed up the covering mail subject line <g>) - but distros including Ubuntu were trying to do these aliases in modprobe rules, so it's a good thing to find out that they're wrong; no?
