I appreciate the general truth of this. I don't pretend I understand the
intricacies of every hack in the kernel, but that is not necessary to use
the latest code. I work in a unix kernel development environment (not
linux), and I am familiar with the shakiness of bleeding edge code - write
it all the time myself. However, we never use patch around here so I am not
intimately familiar with its operation. I'm not uncomfortable with
development code, and I'm ready to fall back to a known good earlier kernel
if need be.
Thanks to all who helped...
