Did you learn that you're probably better off getting your patches into
the mainline kernel, so that henceforth anybody who changes APIs that
affect your code has to also fix your code for you?

Also, 3.2 was a *long* time ago - if your code isn't a driver, there's a
good chance that there's new and better ways to fix your problem.

And if it *is* a driver, submit it for upstream.  Heck, we carried around
an entire *architecture* (the old NCR Voyager SMP boxes) for one guy who
had 2 systems....
