Oh, right, I didn't think about that part; I forget how much we have
automated.  :-)

Hmm, the problem is that the line can be drawn in so many places,
and different people want slightly different things.  Some want
all our patches except for O(1) scheduler (nptl is in the same
patch, so it goes at the same time), others want stock, others
want something in between...  The "couple of patches" above is
very expressive of this vagueness.

That said, if someone wants to work on something of this sort and
maintain a repository like Arjan's 2.6-test repository, more power
to you!  :-)
