Predominantly Dominic's work. While I was working on the same patches, he got 
'em done first (save the e1000 fix), so the work is mostly by Fedora Legacy, 
not ATrpms. I just tidied things up for publishing on ATrpms, then Axel built 
and posted them. And like Axel said, the official Fedora Legacy kernels 
haven't finished the QA process, meaning you aren't guaranteed the ATrpms 
kernels won't destroy your system. If you do use the non-enhanced ATrpms 
kernels, please do submit feedback to Fedora Legacy to help the official 
kernels complete their QA. If you use the FL-sources-based enhanced ATrpms 
kernels, feedback should go to ATrpms.
