+compat-drivers collateral evolutions patches
+============================================
+
+You must have a really good reason to be adding files
+in this directory. Your reasoning should either match the
+explanation already present on the top of each patch file
+or you should add your own.
+
+We try to avoid having patch files because:
+
+ * Its a pain in the ass to maintain them.
+
+ * Most backport changes can be pulled off through
+ some macro magic or new files which implement
+ the new functionality on the old kernels.
