CSSU kernel assess

Purpose of this page and table is to evaluate the risk and thus decide about fitness for CSSU kernel, of all patches available from latest KP

Changes:
2012-11-03 - [freemangordon] Initial draft 
2012-11-03 - [Joerg_rw] major restructuring to sortable true table, 
                        added coloumns .ko (means only kernel module domain) and 
                        zImg (means massive impact and risk due to edits in kernel core)  
2012-11-03 - [Pali] added info about Nokia patches and patches disabled in KP
2013-01-24 - [Pali] updated patches list to match kp52 version
2013-02-02 - [Pali] updated info about patches
