Hi Milan - 

It is because the patches are against the last official "point release"
kernel, and our source repository is at 2.4.21-rcX.  So, you get a patch
against 2.4.20 with xfs, kdb, and 2.4.21-rcX as well.

If I had time I could change the script to diff against the -rc upstream
versions, but that's a big if these days.  :)

-Eric
