I currently run several different from 2.2.5 to 2.2.10. I didn't simply try it,
since most are production machines and it is not "officialy" supported on that
kernels. if you say it runs stable I'll try it at least on one machine.
anyway, my question is: why it is possible only using patches
but cannot be just included in the standard code?
obviously the opinions about a "clean" implementation differ...
