hi Andrew,
welcome to the list and the first ever patch ;-). here are some comments, though:

i think that we are not sure which kernel version we are going to use for the next release (or we are ?), so perhaps now is not time for this patch to apply

i think the above document only shows example on how to configure vnet, so the specific kernel version is not that important. thus it is safe to ignore this file when patching.
