Good question. Actually what the patch does is usually the same. What
is patched may be at a different place from release to release so
patches themselves are pined to a release, just so they go to the right
line of code. This is why it would be _nice_ to get the whole kgdb
thing into the source tree and out of the patch areana once and for all.
