SoaS is shipping with a standard F11/rawhide kernel.  My custom
version installs the latest OLPC kernel (older, but with the OLPC
patches you mention).

I was very heartened to hear on IRC two days ago that OLPC have a
kernel hacker (dsaxena) starting in June (to work on Gen 1.5), and
that one of the first thing on the todo list was to get the OLPC
patches applying to the linus kernel.
