Ron - you'll have to decide if you want to apply this to LinuxBIO or not - and then we'll just use the new revision.
There's no problem applying these patches.
I go with a fixed rev of linuxbios for OLPC because I want to avoid the 'broken tip of tree' experience. Every once in a while somebody busts a linuxbios build for a given platform due to things you can't always foresee. So, by using a fixed version of linuxbios, we can ensure that anyone who uses buildrom is guaranteed to get a working flash image.
This scares me - I don't like that we can't easily control the behavior here without patches (that would have to be updated every time we change revisions).
I think I'm not sure what you mean. Our goal should be to have a known-good, patch-free svn rev of linuxbios to use for buildrom.
I don't like local patches.
