I've tested your patches and they definitely get me to the point I had with my manual changes. However, the incompatibilities I reported earlier stil need to be ironed out. Sadly I got sidetracked by another project. There was no progress in the past week. I’m planning to pick up the task on Monday. I was wondering if the inclusion of our fixes for a 13-year-old kernel benefits anyone except my niche use case. Andreas
