    Rename the patchlist to something more appropriate.
    
    This frees up TODO to be an actual TODO file.

+'MUSTARD' patches.  Fedora local patches that are very unlikely to go upstream.

+* linux-2.6-32bit-mmap-exec-randomization.patch
+  One half of the remaining exec-shield diff.
+  - davej bugged Ingo again on Jun 17 2011 about upstreaming, no response.
+  - mailed Linus asking for opinions in August 2011. He still hates it.
+   "Ugh. Certainly not in this form. That patch is just disgusting." ..
+   "I think that with NX and now SMEP, if you really care about security,
+    you'd better be using a CPU that supports 64-bit operations anyway."
+   As well as the increased randomisation, there's a key part of this patch
+   that means that DSOs get loaded in the ASCII-Armor area on 32bit.
+   (Addresses have topmost byte == 0)
+   See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734239
+
+* linux-2.6-i386-nx-emulation.patch
+  The ugly segment hack part of exec-shield that Linus hates.
+  Unlikely to ever go upstream.
+

+	Unlikely to go upstream.

+
+* linux-2.6-e1000-ich9-montevina.patch
+  Intel hates it. Davej has an SDV that needs it.
+  Low maintenence, and worth hanging onto until it gets replaced
+  with something that fails in a different way.
+
+* utrace.patch
+  Hopefully it'll die when uprobes gets upstream.

+* modules-extra: Do a few more things to make it a bit more robust.
+  - Allow for comments in the mod-extra.list file.
+  - Don't fail the build if a module is listed but not built (maybe).
+  - See if it can be tied into Kconfig instead of module names.
+
+* investigate gzip modules. Everything should support this now?
+  Looks like about 70M savings per kernel installed.
