Don't be afraid Kyle. I'm not a script kiddie trying to patch the kernel 
for Skynet compatibility... 8-)
Skynet came to my mind because of Kyle Rees (Michael Biehn)...

I should have stated this in my earlier mail. My fault.
Yes, Jay E. and me are working on the Alpha port. Most kernel related 
patches come from him. He checks the kernels on his machines and I do 
the same on my machines. I'm not going to add patches I haven't tested 
myself. However, I do trust Jay of course...

Kernel is your sovereignty. Your rules. I'll obey.

The things I plan:
* Update Makefile.config to generate *alpha.config and *alpha-smp.config
* Remove alphaev56 from spec, since nobody will support this subarch
* Add a alpha section (%ifarch alpha), defining all the with_* macros
   - We/I should maybe rework this part...
* Fix alpha target, and kernel_image*
* Add config-alpha-generic and config-alpha-smp
* And the current patches for F-9:
- linux-2.6.28-alpha-exec_range.patch
   + Add execshield dummy functions for alpha

- linux-2.6-alpha-pci_get_bus_and_slot.patch
   + include pci_get_bus_and_slot for alpha

- linux-2.6-alpha-eepro100-cleanup.patch
   + cleanup extraneous "freeing mc frame" message from driver
   + This is obsolete (with >= 2.6.29) AFAIK, driver dropped!?
     + Since new driver (e100) shows the same problem, Jay E. will try
       to fix the new one and/or get in contact with upstream
       maintainer

- linux-2.6.28-alpha-pci.h.patch
- linux-2.6-alpha-pci.c.patch
   + Platform support for /proc/bus/pci/X/Y mmap()s
     + define HAVE_PCI_MMAP
     + extern int pci_mmap_page_range

For F-10/devel it will be the same in blue and yellow :-)

I can send patches to fedora-kernel-list tomorrow, when I'm back to 
office. Also a diff to the current F-9 and F-10 spec.
