    Indeed, if /usr/src/linux/patches was a file, the conflicts would be
    impossible to manage. But suppose it was a directory and each patch
    created a small description file in that directory. This would provide the
    desired information without having the big mess :-)

    It's been suggested that config info be saved using the following:

    <.config sed -e '/^#/d' -e '/^[ ]*$/d' | gzip -9 >> image

    The patch descriptions could be saved in a similar manner:

    cat /usr/src/linux/patches/* | gzip -9 >> image

    Alternatively, instead of outputting to image, one could output to
    /boot/patch-$KERNELVERSION, (or wherever)
