For kGraft we have, and I believe kPatch guys also have patches they are 
distributing for their own distro.

So far we have the simplest testcases working with the in-kernel common 
infrastructure, and are working on adding more features (called 
"consistency models" in some discussions) that will allow for more 
complexity in the patches, so that we ultimately reach (or overcome) the 
level of complexity we are currently able to handle in kgraft/kpatch.

Thanks a lot, Heiko.

As I am generally never rebasing a published branches, I've split the 
'for-4.1/core' to two branches and applied the patch ammended with your 
Ack to 'for-4.1/core-s390'.
