Care to give a hint about what patches that may be? :)

I can safely say that 2.6.14.2 (with two small patches from Axboe for
the cdrom subsystem) is working well, and having seen the patch from
2.6.14.2 to 2.6.14.3 on LKML this morning, I think I can say that .3
would work well as well.

I will give .15 a shot in Breezy, but my .config may be a little to
specialised for what most people require. If anyone want me to post
details about .15 when it arrives, I can do.
