This patch does two interesting things: first, it adds list of patches
to kernel. I think that it is _very_ important: we are entering 2.2
phase and that means that there are going to be a _lots_ of patches
around.
Second change adds linux version and list of patches to the right of
linux logo at fbcon screen. It is there mostly to fill free space (and
also because version is hard to read from scrolling screen). Without
this patch, there's huge blank area on the top of screen, and it looks
ugly IMO.
