Oct. Fedora Kernel Patch Report

Here's this months Fedora kernel report. I intended to get it out
last week, but Greg keeps releasing new stable kernels. Given he's at
KS right now, I'll finally get it written before another release comes
out.

I've skipped the patches we tend to carry for default option changes
and such. If people really want me to keep listing those, I'd be
happy to.
