Hi, Martin.  Most of the patches apply somewhat cleanly.  There
are always offset issues if you're trying to use a previously
patched kernel.

Our development tree is off of the base kernels sans patches.

As far as a major release, 4.0 is expected at the end of this week.
I would say wait until that release comes out, as any patches after
that release will be based on 4.0.

P.S.  For those of you in NY, I hope all is well.
