On the ftp*.*.openwall.com FTP mirrors, there're the original kernel
packages which exactly match the versions off kernel.org and there're
separate tarballs with patches to be applied to them.

While I recommend that you do use the patches, it is one of our goals
that the Owl userland should also work with clean kernels off kernel.org
with no patches.
