While patching up a freshly unpacked Linux 2.4.18 (debian
kernel-source package) with the latest EVMS and XFS patches, plus the
evms-xfs fixup, I started looking around to see what other patches I
had applied last time.

It turns out that I had patched that kernel with the preemptible
kernel patch, from Debian "kernel-patch-preempt-2.4".  Which version
of that patch package it was is difficult to determine at this point,
since it may have been updated since the day I built that kernel.  I
bet that's irrelevant anyhow, since that patch necessarily does not
contain any fixes for preemptibility in either XFS or EVMS.
