Ok, thanks! I will.

Is it the intention that the patch-int will be included in the general
kernel distribution? Although I can see the point in distributing some new
features to a closer range of people, my own experiences with out-of-date
kernel patches and hacking away to get them to work with the latest kernel
versions, have led me to believe strongly in the one-kernel concept :)
