Now running 2.5.40-bk4

I finally got 2.5.40 compiled, by applying the BK4 patch.  It's
definitely different from 2.4.19.  Sound quality is definitely better (I
have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz), and I like having Alsa part of the
kernel now.  It seems somewhat slower, though, and hogs my memory.  I'll
admit to using bloatware, but as soon as KDE gets fired up, I check
free, and it reports about 400mb of RAM in use, whereas I only used
about 150 to 200mb with 2.4.19.  I don't think my data's about to get
lost, so I'd say if you're feeling up to a new kernel, try this one.
