[Lenny400] Slightly later kernel/distro version

Using the method of brute force and ignorance, I've managed to get take the
changes to the Linux 2.6.24 kernel from the letux-400 repository and get them
to more or less work with Linux 2.6.29. This is "new" enough that it is
possible to run Debian 6 (Squeeze) on the minibook - so a bit too old,
really, but something I've at least used fairly recently.

Having next to no knowledge about how things actually work, it looks like
2.6.30-rc4 is as far as this method will take me.

Do you want the changes pushed back into the letux-400 repo? If so, how
should I do it? You probably don't want the whole Linux kernel history.
Perhaps just a commit with the 2.6.29.6 sources, and perhaps also commits for
25, 26, 27 and 28?
