Oh, they're pretty stable. `make advent' was a trivial addition.

That's more complicated than we need to get, I think. If we're going to
do One Big Patch, I think it would be easier for you to (a) apply
your kbuild-2.4.3 patch to a pristine tree (b) run install-cml2 there,
(c) rename the make productions, then (d) diff the result against a
pristine tree.

Do we? The way I understood Linus, I don't think he wants to run
parallel. I think he's expecting patch that just drop in the new
stuff as a clean replacement.
