Some kernel patches (e.g. VFS intent patches) used to be required to mount
a lustre system. Lustre 1.6 removed this dependency and introduced patchless
client support for recent kernels. Since the performance of the patchless
client turned out to be quite good, we decided to use it as a default and to
remove the client-side patches from our kernel patch series.
To sum up, all lustre clients are patchless now, even if you use the patched
kernel which only includes server-side patches.

Cheers,
Johann
