This one works if we're sure that all the 3.x and 2.6 versions of the
Linux kernel, as hosted on kernel.org, are available as .xz.

Looking at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ and
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ it indeed seems to be the
case, so looks like your patch should be go to go.

Could you resend your patch inline, with 'git send-email', so that it
can be reviewed and Acked-by other developers, and hopefully applied?

Thanks!

Thomas
