It winds up being a touch out of phase with reality, since 2.6.21-git1
ends up being called 2.6.22-rc0-git1, but the updated attached patch
does account for this case now in that fashion. If we call it anything
else, its out of N-V-R order. Ughlay, but still much closer than we've
been, and outside of that window, it should be spot-on to see what
exactly we're packaging.

Oh, and this version does result in a fully-completed rpm build (also
has the kernel-vanilla fix).
