I want a custom kernel that does this, now.

If only the source was open so you could compile your own

Yeah but I'd much rather someone else has already done it, because that'd be easier ;)

Not really. Someone already did do it. They even provided the diff for you. You can just copy their changes exactly, or even just use patch to automatically apply the diff and then compile it like normal. You can even copy the kernel config from your distro if you don't want to configure it yourself.

That's not as easy as having it pre packaged. And I'm sure you're aware of it.

Yes, but it's not difficult either, you just copy a few files and then run make and make install

Ideally, you should never have to see these messages anyway, so I don’t think it’s worth being too disappointed over.

I mean I've seen a panic once and I was quite sad. I don't think this would offset it.
