Yes, Perhaps. When I started this, I only thought I would add 2-3
patches to fix the eventfd issue - but looking closer, the other patches
seemed worthwhile as well.

We do carry a few patches that aren't (yet?) part of upstream git on the
0.9.33 branch, so it wouldn't get rid of all patches (but most). Another
potential issue is that git almost becomes a hard buildroot dependency,
but that's probably not a big problem.

What do others say?
