Well, good job on this, thanks for sharing! However, this is just a friendly
reminder to everyone still running 2.6.32 that during my 3.10 maintenance
period after I dropped 2.6.32, I saw a significant number of bugs affecting
older versions, 2.6.32 included. So if people are using your branch above to
pick your patches and apply them to their locally maintained kernel, that's
possibly fine. However please guys don't run just the kernel above as-is as
it's definitely missing a few hundreds of fixes (~1300 were fixed in 3.10
since 2.6.32.71 was released, some addressing local privilege escalations).
Cheers,
Willy
