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
 2013-08-03 - [freemangordon] more patches assessed
                              add underscores around impact in an attempt to make table look better
 2013-08-11 - [Pali] updated info about patches
 2013-10-12 - [Pali] disabled usb host mode patches, updated colors
 2013-10-23 - [Pali] added kp53 patches
 2013-10-28 - [freemangordon] overclock patches enabled, powertop issue is going to be fixed soon (in powertop)

bq drivers are disabled because are experimental and not working with bme

usb host mode patches are disabled because using bq drivers
