Ok, this is what I expected. Please remember that the original objective was to
prevent a regression from Hoary - that is, the kernel should not OOPS on boot.
Given that support for the high definition audio chipsets was not included in
Hoary, and given that this patch is unavoidably intrusive, it has been decided
that this patch will not be included in Breezy's kernel.

For the record, please confirm that installing a fresh RC _without_ installing
my kernel results in a kernel panic.

Unfortunately there is currently no way around this except to use the upstream
Realtek patches against 1.0.9b. An attempt to integrate them into Breezy's
kernel results in an even larger, even more intrusive patch than the second
attempt above, so if the one that simply prevents an OOPS on boot (that results
in no sound for you but _does_ result in sound for #36) was rejected, there is
essentially no chance that a larger Realtek patch (that results in sound for
you, albeit horrid quality) will be considered.
