alright, Not sure if you guys have heard, but there was a recent patch released on the linux kernel mailing list, that linus himself is praising for it's performance increases... so I'm wanting to splice it into my own kernel. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with kernel 2.6.37 rc2 and when I attempt to apply this patch I'm getting a bunch of errors:
This is the patch:
I'm not pro @ kernel config stuff, but if anyone could help it'd be great, thanks
the window for 2.6.37 patches and fixes is closed, so the first anyone will see of this patch is 2.6.38 in the official distributions... so I'd like to get it done before then lol...
