So we all screwed up. Apologies accepted, and apologies offered likewise.

I picked it up from your FTP area. The version I picked up is older than the
one you quote below because it also had 5 to HZ*5 fixes in (which Andi Kleen
also pointed out)

Ok I read
"These are all the patches that I would like to see included into 2.2.x.
They are all against 2.2.13pre15."
in your list of patches email to me and Linus as meaning you wanted the full
patch I took from your ftp area in. I don't think I saw the later email.

Ok so for 2.2.14 precisely which pieces do you want in. I've backed out the
bigger zmagic fix. You want the one above in and what else ? Since a lot of
your patches play with the innards of the system not just drivers I would
like to get them in early so they get a good testing.
