Actualy i think the vanilla src starts at 2.2.11, and then the feature
patchs are placed in intermixed with the various kernel upgrade patchs

The ide patch intended for the kernel that shiped is contained in the
kernel-*.src.rpm, it only needs to be uncommented and rebuild

standard proceedure for a kernel upgrade (the patch for the kernel version
we shiped is in the old/ directory btw)

Unlikely, we won't quit adding patchs to the kernel untill everything we
want is in it. We are thinking of shipping a kernel-vanilla for debugging
purposes
