Preemptive patch w/ 2.4.10

[Walt H <waltabbyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Before I hose my linux box, I've got a quick question regarding the 
preemptive patches. According to the changelog for the preemptive patches:

This is a ChangeLog for patch-rml-preempt

Currently synced with 2.4.10-pre14 and 2.4.9-ac14

SMP is now considered stable, but YMMV

20010919
- push XFS fix into XFS CVS

Does this mean that there is just the one needed to create preemptive 
XFS kernel? I've applied the current preemptive patch against the 
2.4.10-xfs kernel and it applies (although with a few offsets) and 
compiles cleanly.

If I'm not mistaken, that patch process used to be:
Apply preemptive patches
Apply XFS patches
Apply XFS fixes

Am I correct?

Sorry about the slightly OT message here, it's just that the entry in 
the Changelog made me think the fix was already within the CVS tree 
(which I almost always use to compile kernels from) and all I needed was 
the preemptive patch against the current CVS - as it's nearly a clean 
Linus + XFS kernel (I think). Thanks for any help.

PS. Thanks to all for the great FS. I still can't believe how awesome it 
is to run a FREE OS with such awesome capabilities. I really appreciate 
everyone's hard work. Thanks,

-Walt
