I know that it looks big, but the reason is that I had to "remake"
it in order to make it apply cleanly against the kernel tree.
This is what I did:
* unpack kernel source to dir linux-source-2.6.18
* unpack kernel source to dir linux-source-2.6.18.o
* Apply previous version of kernel-patch-openvz
* Apply the extra fix
* Make diff between linux-source-2.6.18.o and linux-source-2.6.18
The diff is different because it is totally remade.
The reason why I can not simply append the fix to the old file
is that this file is patched already, and then the --dry-run option
that make-kpkg uses do not work.
Do this make sense to you or do I have to fix this in some other
obscure way?
