list of kernel patches?

[David Abrahams]

Hi,

>From diffing the edgy kernel source with a vanilla 2.6.17.14, there
appear to have been quite a few patches made by the ubuntu developers.
Many seem to be changes that have been rolled into later kernels, but
a few look like they're unofficial or not-yet-released kernel code.  I
need to run a later kernel for various reasons, and would like to know
what patches ubuntu is using that *aren't* present in 2.6.19.1, so I
can decide if I want to apply them myself.  Is there any way to find
out?  Not being versed in the mysterious ways of the kernel source, I
would ideally like to have an English description of the changes.  Is
there a way?

Many thanks in advance,
