I'm quite keen to add the SKAS3 patch to my Centos 4.4 host kernel.
I'd be happy to learn how to do it, and then write up a document about
the process.
My current guess about it would be this:
1. Find a later vanilla kernel.
2. Apply the appropriate SKAS patch to a copy of the kernel.
3. Diff the vanilla against the patched kernel.
4. Compare the changes, by eye, between the two files and
get a programmer's understanding of the change.
(Use "vi" or similar to view the whole context of the changes
between the two files.)
5. Document the change.
If there's any quicker way to understand the changes required, please
let me know.
