All the -ac trees I ship have -ac in the EXTRAVERSION string. Red Hat
don't propogate that however. I hope to submit the changes to Marcelo
that include the munmap changes for the base tree fairly soon, which

I hadn't anticipated people using do_munmap in drivers beyond a couple
of fun bits in the intel 3D acceleration
