2.6.31 patch is under drivers/, and there's another 6%+ in firmware/ and <br>sound/. That's not entirely unusual, but it does seem to be growing. My <br>rough rule of thumb used to be "50% drivers, 50% everything else", but <br>
that's clearly not true any more (and hasn't been for a while - we've been <br>60%+ since after 2.6.27 - I think the whole 'staging' thing is what moved <br>things up by several percentage points)</pre>
