may I ask why 2.6.39? 3.0 is old but at least it's LTS...

Tom is trying to convince his manager to make their internal 2.6.36 git 
repo (with history!) public so I'm holding my own clean up and porting 
to master until there is an answer on that. It might make the process 
much easier if we can see and understand how was it developed, and will 
also allow us to preserve authorship correctly.

cheers,
