help with win4lin

[Bob Nielsen]

I found that while the Win4Lin patches worked on the 2.6.8.1 Ubuntu
linux-source, I had problems when trying to boot a kernel patched 
from linux-source-2.6.10 (hoary).

I patched 2.6.11.2 source from kernel.org and although I get some
error messages while booting, it appears to work just fine for me.

The patch I used is 
http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/Win4Lin/kernel+mki-2.6.11-2.patch
