I'm afraid I don't know how to answer either Pasi's or your question, as
I am not familiar with the build environments. All I know is that the
latest kernel from EL5.6 does not have these patches.

Do I need to bring this up with Red Hat perhaps? I'm really quite new to
submitting patches, so I'm not sure if I am missing something.
