Hi,
scripts/patch-kernel script can't patch a tree, say, from 2.6.25 to
2.6.26.1, because of a wrong comparison in context of patching 2.6.x
base. Following patch has a fix for it.

Hi,
This does work better than the current script in the kernel tree.
The larger question: is does anyone still use this script?
