You can try to patch 2.2.11 with the 2.2.10 patch. It should apply more
or less cleanly. The rest can be corrected by hand. Or use 2.2.12-final
from Alan Cox's directory on ftp.*.kernel.org. It has the new raid stuff
integrated. Probably Linus will say 'no' to that for the 'real' 2.2.12,
but then this should be the only difference.

It makes it "difficult" for all the all the others that are using
old-style raid semantics and have chosen a rather poor distribution
(SuSE, in my case) that still comes with the old raidtools :-(
