That bit sounds like worthwile.. but I'd still need a more general description
of what the patches do. I'm concerned about incompatibilities with other

I googled around, but all I could find is the location of the patch itself:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/

with not much documentation.
