Don't have an unpacked SuSE 8.0 kernel around, but the 7.3 one had 184
additional patches by my count.  Though some of them aren't even used
in normal x86 kernels.. for eg we shipped the UML patches for some
reason.. (Mine is not to question why). The rest of the patches are made
up of things like fs/driver updates, and feature enhancements like Tux,
low-latency patches, Andrea's VM, netconsole, the snazzy framebuffer
splash screen thing, JFS, IPVS, and boatloads of other small bits..

Anyone curious as to whats inside various vendors kernels may
be interested in.. http://kernelnewbies.org/kernels/
