Steven,

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this down and post it to  
the list. I have a few questions on how to compile a newer kernel with  
the patches.
I have never used git so when you say "Pull from Ingo Molnar's git  
tip" are you talking about this:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/  and the x86.git and the tip.git?

Also, should I be doing this with the RC for .28 or should I use a  
vanilla .27?
As for Jeremy's patches from "series" are we talking about these patches:

--- a/series    Tue Nov 18 16:53:19 2008 -0800
+++ b/series    Wed Nov 19 10:46:10 2008 +0000

Thanks again for the info,
