[PATCH 0/2] kerneloops Ubuntu tag

[Andy Whitcroft]

We have been discussing changing our version strings to help the kerneloops
project to determine which distro is producing which kernels.  That has
complex knock on effects for our build process and for out of tree drivers
which rely on our abi model to track the current kernel.

Following this email are a couple of alternative approaches which I have
been playing with.  The plan is to get something very obviously Ubuntu
related into close proximity to the version strings without having to
actually change them.  The first alters the build number field, the second
modifies only the oops messages themselves.

Consider these springboards for discussion.
