linux kernel patch

[David Hendricks]

We appreciate your interest in the project! As I recall, the patches
were just something for some SiS chipset support in older LinuxBIOS
versions (freebios1). Since then, LinuxBIOS has advanced to include more
generic chipset support that does not require kernel patches.

The current LinuxBIOS (freebios2) will work without patches to your
kernel.
