Fetch the current CVS tree. Recerse apply the kdb patch.
Diff this tree against the vanilla 2.4.21 and you basically got about the 
same result.

The thing is though. 2.4.21 is not out yet (according to kernel.org) and I 
don't remember seeing anything related to security holes either which would 
force a new release.

It is not based on a XFS release like 1.1 or the 1.2pre snapshots and thus 
not as well tested.
