[ltp] swsusp2 patches

[Eben King]

OK, I screwed up somewhere.

I had linux-2.6.8.1 source, which I made by patches 2.6.8 -> 2.6.8 ->
2.6.8.1 .  I downloaded software-suspend-2.0.0.105-for-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 and
software-suspend-core-2.0-whole.bz2 and tried to apply them as the HOWTO
said (except that instead of "patch < file" I did "bzip2 < file.bz2 |
patch").  I got told many times that this will create a file which doesn't
exist, did I mean -R?  So I ^C'd and ran it with -R.  This time it waned
me about operations creating files which DID exist, was that OK?  Argh.

Oh yeah, before I started all this I tarred up the source dir, just in
case something bad (like this) happened.  Whenever something failed I
would rm -rf the whole thing and re-extract it.

Back to the story.

At this point I thought maybe the source was bad (dunno how... it made a 
working kernel and modules), so I got pristine sources from us.kernel.org.  
No dice, same response.

I thought, maybe that's a bad patch file.  So I downloaded
software-suspend-2.0.0.104-for-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 .  Same deal.  I went ahead
and approved _many_ patches, but on the core patch a hunk failed.  :-(

So, I ask you, O wise ones, where should I look or what should I do 
differently?
