If we had a cvs log we could take the CVS branches from 2.0.29 or so
when 2.1.x was split off and merge the relevant forward changes. You'll
just have to hope Linus can remember everything or go through the patches
from 2.0.30 onwards checking stuff has been forward ported. I know the
/proc security patches are missing, but most of the other changes made in
2.0.36 up to pre12 are in 2.1.x. Someone willing to backcheck over the
previous 2.0.x diffs would be great
