I NewVersioned from 2.6.22.1 to 2.6.22.2 for myself, but was too timid 
to update recipe-store.  There were a lot of fuzzy patch applications. 
It works okay for me with the following enabled over the default config:

#for emulating middle- and right- mouse buttons (I think I may switch
#to a non-kernel solution once I find/make one that works)
CONFIG_MACINTOSH_DRIVERS=y
CONFIG_MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN=y

#for GPT partition table:
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y


(I would like if these are enabled in default Linux recipe - they don't 
do any harm by themselves)


Also I think ALSA-recipes should be updated to 1.0.14 for this kernel 
version (or the updated ALSA-Lib 1.0.14a).  I upgraded ALSA-Lib and 
ALSA-Utils; should I upload these recipes? (there are other ALSA-* that 
I don't have installed...); although sound still doesn't work for me 
(since forever on Gobo), presumably because:

]dmesg | grep -i -C 1 ALSA
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14 (Thu May 31 
09:03:25 2007 UTC).
ALSA device list:
   No soundcards found.

Even though snd_hda_intel module is automatically loaded, lspci sees the 
sound card, alsaconf seems to be able to detect it... `cat </dev/urandom 
 >/dev/dsp`, as root no less, makes no sound.  I'm waiting to 
investigate further, until installing a newer Udev than 095 is likely to 
work, since I heard that some newer udev will autoconfigure (obsoleting 
alsaconf) and also udev and kernel version really are closely related.
