However, if you track new stable kernels eagerly, you'll want to up to
2.4.15/2.5.0 + the _2nd_ of Al Viro's patches -- it corrects a
long-standing clear_inode() becomes inode->i_sb->s_op->clear_inode() oops
that has been in the tree "for quite a while" and affects nearly every
filesystem in the kernel.
