[ale] Kernel patches to CentOS 6 vs standard

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

RedHat publishes errata every time they update a package, including the kernel.  The ones for 6.9 can be found at:

https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---6/6.9/x86_64/product-errata

You may need a RedHat login to access that though.   I'm not sure if CentOS replicates the errata information on their site.

The previously mentioned kernel-doc package contains a lot of information related to usb including multiple man pages and this subdirectory with several files:
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.32/Documentation/usb
I do see mention of USB 3 in one of those.   You may find information on what you're trying to accomplish (short of patching) by checking into those.

You'd be far better off going from 2.6.38 to something newer than trying to untangle the CentOS kernel differences, even from the upstream kernel.org 2.6.32.  RH backported a _ton_ of stuff; drivers, subsystems, security stuff, bugfixes, and bugs alike.

Is there a reason you're using 2.6.38 specifically?
