I guess George means, why is the file _both_ in the patch and in 2.1.72?
When patching from 2.1.72 to 2.1.73, I get:
The next patch would create the file `linux/include/linux/dmascc.h', which already exists! Assume -R? [n] Apply anyway? [n] Skipping patch. 1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to linux/include/linux/dmascc.h.rej
So, I editted the reject file to remove the patch stuff (s/^..//) and then:
$ diff -u dmascc.h dmascc.h.new $
No difference between the 2.1.72 version and the version included in the 2.1.73 patch.
Hmm, apparently nobody uses the patches anymore but just downloads complete kernels. Strange.
