If they are really needed, why aren't they put into the main
tree (or at least the -ac series). Since I am running mainly
-ac kernels (for NFS in fact), I have not been able to
apply any of the HJL patches that come with the knfsd-1.4.x
packages : some of his patches conflict with -ac patches.
So, I gave up applying the patches, and am wondering what
hidden crashes I may encounter because of that.
