2.6.x.y is stable.  2.6.x is not by any reasonably strict definition of
stable.  Unless you can explain how the stuff that went in 2.6.21 could be
added to a stable series kernel, do not even bother replying.

And for the record, the patches are NOT mine, but since I am the one usually
dealing directly with thinkpad firmware, I jumped in to help debug things as
a thinkpad firmware was *probably* to blame.
