Some clarifications though...

1) I need to be able to *tell* what the base version was.  Juerg's patch was
clearly based on 2.6.21.1.

2) Speaking of that... I would strongly prefer patches against Linus' tree,
rather than any of the stable branches.  If it happens to apply to Linus' tree
without trouble (as this one did) then that's fine, but otherwise I'll toss it
back for a respin.

Thanks & regards,
