Thank you for the feedback Randy.  Looks like I missed a step in the cycle;
I cloned Linus' tree with git from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/[...]/torvalds/linux-2.6.git,
was this wrong?  Is there another tree I should be cloning, or do I
apply the -mm
patch from kernel.org before making this sort of change? (The latter I suspect.)

I thought I could get away with using gmail in plain text mode, guess
