Rather than just applying the patch directly and dealing with the rejects,
you might try the "mergetrees" tool to do this, you just do:
mergetrees linux-aa/ linux-linus/ linux-xfs/ linux-aa-xfs/
and it will merge your aa tree with the xfs tree and produce an aa-xfs
tree ("linux-aa,", "linux-linus,", and "linux-xfs" are all the same base
kernel - say, 2.4.17 - with the -aa or -xfs (or no) patches.)
You'll get a list of conflicts, and the conflicts are marked _in_ the
source files, making it much easier to resolve.
