[uml-user] Fwd: Apply SKAS Patch to CentOS Kernel

[Dan L. <sit...@gm...>]

He's looking for a more "official" way to compile it, like, against
RHEL5/CentOS5 sources and probably even put it into an RPM so the
system will handle it correctly.

I don't know how to do this myself since with CentOS/RHEL I've always
just let the system handle the kernel.  (one of the reasons I even run
it)
