rather than doing it the lazy way by simply reusing a mainstream kernel, 
we should look to get the stuff people need into sabotage's kernel.
in the worst case that means bisecting the diff between sabotage's 
kernel config and the one spit out by "zcat /proc/config.gz" on the 
ubuntu kernel until the right config item is identified.

btw, it's actually pretty educative to do a git log -p KEEP/linux.config
to study previous modifications/additions to the kernel config.
in general we tried to keep the modifications minimal and document the 
changes properly in the commit messages.
