I didn't actually do anything to it. Only a couple of the rejects do you even
need to worry about. By looking at the reject files and comparing them to the
source it's pretty easy to
fix the one or 2 critical ones. Don't worry about any of the Makefile rejects.
Actually I didn't apply it to a vanilla kernel. My kernel has about 15 selected
patches applied before the futex patch. You should be able to fix what doesn't
apply cleanly, fairly easily, if you have any C experience at all. If you really
can't get it applied let me know and _maybe_ I can
go back and do it against a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel to get a 2.4.20-futex patch.
