Glad to hear it :)

Well, Mike and I talked about this in the past and, while neither of us
thought that having a frozen include tree was a bad idea if no kernel
patches were needed, I can see now that we may want to have the symlinks
now.

Hmmm...interesting....never realised that.

Yeah, I undid that change as well and, Nikita, you may want to remove that
change from the patches. I'll remove it from the copy on my site that's
going with util-linux. More on this in another message...

Keep us posted. I am now running my newly patched kernel with RTC support
that actually works now :)
Also, Nikita, you may want to change the big diff to include the patch
that Nikhil attached. I'm sure he's not the only one who's running an
Adaptec chipset for SCSI and, since the new driver doesn't work for us
as is anyway, we might as well have it patched along with the rest of the
stuff that you fixed so that it will work :)
