Wow! How does one manage to generate a hundred megabyte patch? I don't have
the latest kernels, but "find . -type f | xargs cat | wc" tells me I've only
only got 40 megabytes of kernel source, so even if they completely rewrote
every file, they should only be sending you 80 megabytes or so! :-) What
in heavens name are they doing?
