    LU-2473 ldiskfs: Reorganize ldiskfs kernel patches · 574a82bd
    Christopher J. Morrone authored
    
    This commit makes no changes to the patches, only moving
    their location.
    
    For some time we have supported only a single kernel per major
    OS release, e.g. RHEL 6.3, or RHEL 6.2, but not both.  While
    it is understandable to only support a single kernel, it is
    quite another to intentionally destroy the patchset for the previous
    kernel every time we upgrade.
    
    This makes the logistics of upgrading an OS release (even a minor
    one like RHEL 6.2 to 6.3, or 6.3 to 6.4) quite complicated.
    
    We should really start a new patch series when we update support
    for a new kernel.  That way we can leave the patch sets for
    previous kernels in place.  We do not need to "support" them, but
    at least leaving them unmolested until the users of the previous
    patch set have time to upgrade would be greatly appreciated.
    
    This commit attempts to organize the patches into subdirectories
    according to the kernel/os in which they were first created.  A
    later commit will then add support for RHEL6.4.
    
    Also, fix build/confirmpatches.sh to allow checking
    ldiskfs/kernel_patches (a bug prevent checking anything but the
    default).
    
    Extend both confirmpatches.sh and clearpatches.sh to work with
    series files that point to patches organized into subdirectories.
