I see.  However, since the stuff in /lib/firmware is already there from 
previous builds that did include this patch, and I didn't delete it, I noted 
that the 2.6.27-rc5 I built last night, without that patch, still loaded the 
r200 microcode according to the messages log, and dmesg.  From dmesg:

[root@coyote /]# dmesg|grep drm
