official sources) */

10. ARM futex fix (maybe an official bugfix, but till then...)
        - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3438

11. USB fix for host mode on n810 (this may also be an update)

12. V4L2 fix for IT2008
        - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2491

If there are others, especially for earlier ITOS releases and the n770
(of which i have never played with), then let me know and Ill add this
to the list. Soon I will look at making a quilt set (maybe one per
machine?) of all these patches, just so that we have a copy in one
place.

If anyone has remarks or experiences with any of the patches, then
also let me know, as I would like to make a table with information
about each patch (is it stable, does it work as intended, is it used
etc etc). From that list we can decide what will be 'patched' into the
community kernel (or maybe we have more than one i dunno).

Im currently trying to finish off some stuff for the next Mamona
release (plug plug), so i haven't done much else for this project than
trying to collect these links.

Cheers
