Good news. I've taken a quick look, all patches that we used in our
kernels seem to be in there.

Well, if the official kernel source plus the official alpha patches is
what we call the main tree, then I tend to say yes, we have. There are
still some suspicious header files, but I hope it's OK. Some time ago
in response to my suggestion to get rid of glibc1 header workarounds and
incorporate ap02-fixes Jay said he would wait for RH 5.0. I think Jay
has taken measures to ensure that this release of alpha-patches is
glibc2-aware.
Unfortunately I feel a bit lazy to check this in practice...
