I upgrade my source tree by applying official patches. If I go changing t=
he=20
source tree myself (particularly to fix problems such as that one), then=20
official patches don't fit any more.

I also note that Red Hat's kernels do not have NTFS support; if you want =
it=20
you build it.

I don't want NTFS support and I think few UML users will want it. Excludi=
ng=20
the support from the standard UML build is no hardship.

OTOH I think a few UML users will want NFS and maybe other network=20
filesystems so my patch also includes those.
