Petr, All,

> Cc: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Since there's quite some work left to be done, and we would like to have
this as part of the next release, I'm adopting this patch to fix the
remaining issues that Arnout and I raised earlier.

However, I have a question, see below...

> +LINUX_BACKPORTS_VERSION_MAJOR = 4.0.1

How are the versions of Linux and linux-backports related?

I.e. does linux-backports have to match the Linux version, or can we
use whatever linux-backports version with whatever Linux version?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
