What kind of battery life do you get with these patches applied, out
of curiosity?

Darn it, I have a Macbook Air, but I use it for media consumption
purposes.  This would be a great temption to get a second one as a
Linux box...

 So I'm toying with 3.0 (and in that case, it really would be 3.0,
 not 3.0.0 - the stable team would get the third digit rather than
 the fourth one.

If we change from 2.6.X to 3.X, then if we don't change anything else,
then successive stable release will cause the LINUX_VERSION_CODE to be
incremented.  This isn't necessary bad, but it would be a different
from what we have now.
