The broken out patch:

delete-posix-conformance-testing-by-unifix-message.patch

is empty, except for the comment.

The actual change is missing in:

1) the ftp directory 2.6.6-rc3-mm2/broken-out
2) the broken-out tarball 2.6.6-rc3-mm2-broken-out.tar.bz2
3) the monolithich patch 2.6.6-rc3-mm2.bz2

Presumably something like the following patch is intended:

From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>

There is a general desire to reduce the quantity of noisy and/or
outdated kernel boot-time messages...
