Thanks for that (it was really needed). However, about the various fixes I 
built, there is a lot of that that should go in. Go here:

http://web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/blaisorblade/linux/archives/UML/2.6.1-v1/

I've updated all the stuff that was there. You claimed you didn't want some 
patches, now I've organized things so they can be easily excluded. Do *not* 
use the combo.

This are some brief patches descriptions (in the 00-README).
C-03 (trivial, removes smplock.h which went away)
C-04 (sys-i386/fault.c shouldn't even compile for now, as the exception 
handling has had a syntactic change)
G-01 (one-liner for SELinux build, from M A Young)
G-02 (makes /proc/kallsyms work well and cleanups link scripts)

H-01 (consider that for PCAP linking; you claim in Makefile comments kbuild 
doesn't allow to link -lpcap, that show it's possible).
H-02 (when configuration is changed, the whole UML is rebuilt again because 
all files depend on uml-config.h which depends on all configuration. Trivial 
fix).

Module support fix is trivial, and does not depend on anything controversial, 
until you don't enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. So apply the patch. I've also 
infos (and some code) about fixing the panic you get on startup with it 
enabled.

The patches you mustn't apply from there are the H-03 and H-04, since H-03 is 
the USER_OBJ thing and the H-04 depends on it (even if is logically 
independent).

Bye
