This is why I was asking if something has broken recently with the new
kernel.  I don't believe there is anything that will "break" currently by
going to CVS, but we don't need to take that chance in upgrading
unnecessarily.  There are a few commits i'd like to cherry pick here and
there for things I know about, but pulling everything out of band from a
release doesn't sound ideal to me.
