Next stupid question:  How does the patch get back into the XNU kernel 
code?  Is there a project for it, or do we dump it on Apple's front door 
hoping that they will integrate it?

It appears that it the case.  Sometimes sticking to your guns gets you 
shot (at least around here in Southeastern Arizona.)

However, this is your fix and definitely your call if you want to press 
AJ about it, or if you want to go to Apple and get the fix into the kernel.
