Well, Ben's kernel is based on a 2.4.21 release candidate, last time I 
checked.
I'm trying to get from a -rc1-benh0 to a patch against a stock 2.4.21 
kernel, and it's really not just a BIT of work.

The whole point here was to use a _released_ 2.4.21-benh, not a 
2.4.21-rc(something)-benh
The patching of that for a mere mortal is non-trivial.
