Hi Geir,

Thanks for the email and especially for working with bug reporters to
try to build them a patched kernel to test.  Unfortunately we don't have
a build infrastructure available for the general public to leverage
other than using a PPA for ex like you mentioned.  If it's more urgent,
always feel free to jump in #ubuntu-kernel on FreeNode and request a
helping hand.  I'm sure one of us would be willing to kick off a build
for you.

Thanks,
Leann
