The main objection from Red Hat's standpoint is that it changes the
semantics of a kernel interface in a way that really forks from the
vanilla kernel -- it would be really painful if programs you built on
a Red Hat system magically quit working when you put an upstream kernel
on the system.

So this should really be an lkml discussion.  That shouldn't be
construed as a suggestion that everyone go spam lkml, of course...
