We could add a "patch_kernel.sh" script instead of recommending that
people call patch manually. That script could check for the presence of
LVS in the kernel and emit a big warning and abort.
Now, what would be nice was if Wensong would also make _incremental_
patches available; that would make patching up a vendor kernel to the
current LVS status at least possible for a normal user.
