-* linux-2.6-acpi-debug-infinite-loop.patch
-  Responsible: mjg59
-
-* fix_xen_guest_on_old_EC2.patch
-  Ugly for upstream. It's a hack to make old HV's work optimally.
-  Eventually we can drop it, but probably not until fixed HV's
-  are commonplace. (When?)
-  Responsible: Justin.
-
-* add-appleir-usb-driver.patch
-  Added September 2009, but had been around even before that.
-  " NACKed upstream with "i'll implement this in the ir framework" or something
-  and never got around to it."
-  Responsible: j-rod
-
-* dmar-disable-when-ricoh-multifunction.patch
-  Added October 2010
-
-* linux-2.6-intel-iommu-igfx.patch
-  Invert igfx_off/igfx_on option. Around since forever. Upstreamable ?
-  Mustard ? Config option ?

 '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.
-
-* linux-2.6-crash-driver.patch
+* crash-driver.patch
 	Unlikely to go upstream.
 	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492803
 
-* 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.
-

-***********************************************************************************
-
-Spec file/config todos/cleanups
-
-* 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.
