I had to "hand tweak" both patches to patch cleanly with 21-pre6. They
are inside the kernel source rpm if you need them (not the binary kernel
source rpm, the ".src.rpm" rpm :-). You can look at the spec file to see
which patches I'm applying.

I have not yet tried pre7, the current planet ccrma kenel is based on
pre6. Actually I did but some new modules that I enabled fail to compile
and I have to tweak the configuration and try again.
