Linux kernel patches

[Aidan Gauland]

Hello,

 I want to use the Linux kernel source from kernel.org instead of  
the source from the Debian package, and I got the list of patches  
that the Debian project applies to the kernel source before they put  
it in the package repositories, and I want to know if there are any  
of these patches I that I probably need.  Obviously, I don't want  
most of them, such as patches for bug fixes or features on  
architectures other than x86, or for features I wont ever use, like  
support for 2TB filesystems, so how can I find out what patches I  
might want of need?

Thanks,
Aidan
