Log Message:
Hardcode what the linux uname() calls return (Linux 2.2.5 is the current
value). A few major applications check for this (like VMware), and
there is no other way to trick them. Needs a more generic solution
eventually.

=====

This doesn't seem right, even in the short term.  (Particularly, this
shouldn't persist to the 1.6 branch.)
