Hello All!

This series introduces linux-backports, which contains drivers from
recent kernels, backported unto older kernels (down to 3.0).

The first patch, linux-backports itself, uses a pure generic package,
and does not make use of the kernel-module infra, while the second and
last patch converts it over to the kernel-module infra.

I'm not sure using the kernel-module infra is worth it, because it does
not gain us much in this case. Yet, it makes for a slightly more
beautiful .mk (IMHO!).

In the end, using kernel-module or not is the same to me (with a very
slight preference for using it, of course, but I won't mind either way).

Thanks to Petr for doing the initial packaging of linux-backports. :-)


Changes v8 -> v9:
  - better depend on linux' .config  (Thomas)
  - comment the kernel-module conversion  (Thomas)


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
