What we would like to do, is have the kvm-guest-drivers-linux.git tree 
autogenerate backports for as far back as we need them.  Posting what 
you needed to do for RHEL4 would be helpful.  What would be most helpful 
is actually submitting a patch to that repo that did the awk/cpp magic 
to generate the backport.
