Well there's a lot of things that are either RH-specific patches to
various bits (say, server-tuning.patch which raises NR_TASKS and other
limits to more reasonable level), bugfixes that just have been fixed by
Red Hat but haven't made it to Linuses tree yet and also things that are
generally available but aren't included in stock 2.2 because of various
reasons (like compability): RAID 0.90 and NFS-server-patches being some of
the more important ones I can remember..
