Could this list be added to the btrfs wiki, source repositories page?

http://btrfs.ipv5.de/index.php?title=Btrfs_source_repositories

While there, please review the dkms information:

0) At least a paragraph actually describing what dkms is/does would be 
extremely useful.  A link to another page on the topic or to an external 
dkms resource for more information is probably in order as well.

1) Near the top of the dkms section, under "You have a very recent 
kernel", the for instance says dkms doesn't work with recent kernels, but 
then backporting is mentioned.  So you want to use it if you have a very 
recent kernel, but it doesn't work with recent kernels and backporting is 
needed?  WTF?

2) Is Chris's tree STILL based on old 2.6.32 without further updates 
except to btrfs?  If so, the link to it in the earlier btrfs kernel 
module git repository section should probably have a BIG WARNING TO THAT 
EFFECT, instead of simply saying it downloads a complete Linux kernel 
tree.

3) Further down there's a step that says Patch version script, noting 
2.6.27, which is older still.  Has cmason merged that patch?

4) The instructions appear to assume a kernel module an initr* based 
setup.  What about people who configure and build a custom monolithic 
kernel, with module loading disabled?
