Current kernel version of, say, aic79xxx is 1.3.11, and I have 2.0.12, they are 226 patches away. Each patch is a submission into perforce. I can extract each and every one of those 226 and can post them somewhere on a website (hosting anyone? ;-) ), so that anyone can review them. I can also provide a single patch from 1.3.11 to 2.0.11 so that a "to<-->from" picture can be seen as some patches in between may "cancel" each other out. And I'll also provide a bk-send and a tar.gz of the whole thing as it looks in my tree. Let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks, -- Luben
